Yes, I've been a "supposed" coach, for 20 years. At every level. And I do it 7 days a week. We're talking lax and you're talking "elitist?" What's that mean in a lacrosse context? Very odd. All my years, and I've never heard that one. Please list which college teams you truly th...

Whoooooooaaaaaa doggies! What a finish! Towson is a good team. Let's hope this win gets the Hounds back on track. I've never seen a Loyola team struggle so badly with clearing and turnovers as this team has in its last 4 games. That stuff is fixable. And it's nice to see we have another option at F...

If you don't understand the weekly ebbs and flows of a lacrosse season, personalities of a team on a yearly basis etc. I cant explain it to you. I have plenty of feelings about the Loyola team, what I would do different as a coach. But I know that's all from 20K feet. I'm not going with all the inf...

And this is where you are wrong. You would think it would be a tough week for those players who continuously make the same mistakes that should not be repeatedly occurring at this level. Almost no repercussions, glossed over at practice and the same kids will assume their positions the next game. I...

First mistake was having Poitras at attack instead of midfield. It’s impacting him and Minicus. Not sure I agree with you. Season turned around last year when James, Minicus and Poitras played attack. 13 goals in first game and five last week. You move Poitras to midfield and Lindsey to attack? Bal...

New week, same result Not ready to play Just an embarrassment. The last three games our offense has disappeared. Three guys scored. THREE. We have scored 16 goals total in the past three games. When this season started I looked at their lineup and was worried about a young defense. With 5 senior/5t...

Van has more say and control than he should. When Ryan recruited, he made it perfectly clear he was looking for tenacity, not stars. He was looking for kids that would “run through a wall” for the team and did not necessarily pay attention to rankings. He got that level of dedication from his recru...

Yes, we know you don't like Coach Van. But he's not the shot caller for recruiting. I don’t “not like” Van. My point is that Toomey recruited a bunch of high 4 stars kids who have all pretty much either failed to produce, regressed or haven’t gotten the opportunity to play. For teams like Duke, UVA...

Well let’s hope the offense gets its act together for Rutgers and Towson next week. Still think the problem starts with the midfielders. Eleven turnovers. Two goals. Kamish finally scored but this team looks tight. Afraid to make a mistake. Staudt was great again. Defense was solid. Clearing game w...

According to this, the Hounds have played the toughest schedule thus far. “That which doesn’t kill us makes us stronger”. Building for conference play… https://masseyratings.com/clax/ncaa-d1/ratings I would not disagree with toughest schedule. But that is not what is being discussed here It is the ...

Terp fan here but the game really surprised me. Thought we'd see a 1-goal kind of game. As an outsider, two things stood out to me (aside from your goalie keeping the game as close as it was). One, your rope unit didn't hold up too well. The Terps attacked the shorties and LSMs on inverts for the e...

Wow. Couldn’t make today’s game. Kinda glad. Watched on TV. Just can’t believe that three attack who combined for 13 goals and 18 points against a good Georgetown team could come up so empty today. Bad start. Down 4-0. Bad shots and bad turnovers. When your FOGO can’t win draws you have to protect t...

What a day. Other than Face off the entire team played phenomenal. James with 9 points. Poitras and Minicus with 4 goals each. Heuston added two and Higgins and Salley were on the scoreboard. Surprised that none of the backup guys got in late. A conundrum at midfield with Heuston, Higgins and Kamis...

Just a quick question. Did Gtown really call a stick check on a kid who hadn't been in the game? If so, we are entering glove-color territory. They called it on Trent turner #0. He didn’t even get a second of PT in the game. Why even call a stick check on him? Stick check is anonymous. The refs jus...
