By the way, would there be a finer venue for the Final Four than Navy Stadium if Graduation Weekend weren't the same weekend?

Even with the disappointment of the loss to Denver, we can't argue that Syracuse was a pleasant surprise in 2024. Next year, one must remember that a lot more of the talent will be Gary's.

Won't a lot more of the regular players be ones that Gary recruited, too?

So, the game is over. What were the biggest factors in Denver coming out on top?

I would highly doubt that many, if any people love Navy Lacrosse more than Tills does. I am sure Tills has a strong attachment to Navy, as he came of age there as a coach, got to work with one of the all-time great guys in lacrosse, Richie Meade, and coached some pretty extraordinary young people. ...

So do you think Dino Jr will be Duke's next head coach rather that these much more proven fellow Dukies? Dan Chemotti(Richmond) Taylor Wray(Saint Joseph's) Kevin Cassese(former Lehigh HC, current UVA assistant) Who should it be? Chemotti Who will it be? Danowski Jr Do you think that, if it is Danow...

So not everyone here is a fan of Towson's stadium being a Quarterfinals site?

Possibly. I do hope that he retires before things really go downhill.

Wow, folks! Every masterful coaching-job John Tillman performs makes me realize even more how lucky Navy was to have him and how lucky they will be if he decides to return "home" someday.

After what we just witnessed against Maryland, Duke deserves to be mentioned in the top group on this list. That many losses and no Final Four for a team with not just so much talent, but one that should have been starving to finish business in the postseason after coming up just short a year ago.

I do hope Danowski retires before time passes him too far by. As people have alluded to above, this is looking like we could be on the verge of "Starsia's Late Years At UVA, Part II".

Did Tills outcoach Danowski?

Of all the top programs, has Duke had more issues the past multiple years in the goal than any other program?

What are the faceoff stats? They aren't posted on the Inside Lacrosse website.

I say:

Surprise:

Syracuse and Towson


Disappointing:

Marquette and Stony Brook

Any word on who Amplo is looking at for OC? I still think it may be Coach Stimmel, who was Amplo's assistant at Marquette and who did quite well as Yale's OC.

You care enough to some degree to come on this thread.

One thing to remember is that John Tillman has had John Danowski's number far more than any other coach in the postseason.
