I made some comments about Karen's relating to and motivating players but it was not intended to be trashing her as a coach. I have met her and she can be a very pleasant person and knows softball. She is direct and to the point and doesn't joke around much, the lawyer part, and some players don't handle that well.
The biggest issue is, as other posters on here that know the program far better than me have said, once you get in her dog house for something it can be very hard to get out of and your playing time suffers. Just part of her personality I guess.
