This is such a beautiful sport at times. Watch Ali Diamond as she lopes behind the net looking for a teammate to connect with. Just an athletic grace to her stride and comportment.
While I’m here—I wonder how Georgetown will do this year…

Re: Georgetown
Likely better than last year, but I dont see this as more than a .500 team. IMO, Ricky has issues with "system first" and rarely adapts to the talent of his players. Georgetown has underperformed for a number of years.OuttaNowhereWregget wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 11:53 am

Re: Georgetown
100% this. Ricky is not flexible at all in what he does. Georgetown should be better than they are for sure. I know a lot of girls that were initially interested in Georgetown that ended up going elsewhere after talking to current and former players.Dr. Tact wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 12:09 pmLikely better than last year, but I dont see this as more than a .500 team.

Re: Georgetown
This is a new concept to me. What are the pros and cons of this type of coaching philosophy in women’s lacrosse?
Re: Georgetown
Ricky runs a very structured system that does not allow for any creativity by his players. He's also not the easiest guy to play for. The game has changed a lot in the last few years with all the new rules. There are several coaches that have not adapted to these changes and Ricky is one of them.OuttaNowhereWregget wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 1:11 pm This is a new concept to me.

Interesting. Are there any player types who thrive under this kind of structured system?hmmm wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 1:35 pmRicky runs a very structured system that does not allow for any creativity by his players.

Re: Georgetown
Hmmm beat me to it. But yeah. You recruit girls from Club/HS and then squelch them. Totally wasted Francesca Whitehurst. Anyway, his defense is pretty good, but his offense was where he failed/fails to use the talent available. He also had a reputation of favoring his USA team job over his day job. If his system is good, he should recruit for it, not try to fit a square peg in a round hole.OuttaNowhereWregget wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 1:11 pm This is a new concept to me.

Re: Georgetown
He also had that very good class of 2011 that was ranked #1. But I agree. I think coaches usually try to recruit for the system (speed, creativity, etc.), but there's also a degree of flexibility as well. If they don't fit exactly into the system - is there another way to use the player or another way to maximize their strengths? It sounds like Ricky wasn't very flexible.Dr. Tact wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 1:42 pmHmmm beat me to it. But yeah. You recruit girls from Club/HS and then squelch them.
