LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Whenever Duke Coach Danowski decides to step - down who would be the likely successor? Heard that Duke does not favor nepotism so does that preclude his son or does the AD defer to John ? Is K. Caseese a front-runner? Any Top 20 head coach come to mind? No AC’s of the Final Four teams strike as viab...

Reunion weekend rumor is that 5 solid “srs” will be taking a final spring semester in 2025 including Witt, Locke, Sweeney, Sacks (?) and Bultman (?) - those and a strong sr. class should serve as a great foundation for the up-coming season….JT ‘s top assistant is succeeding him at HP but JT looks to...

In his introductory zoom meeting with Brown alums JT recounted inspiration at every stage of his career from Brown lax alums or former Brown coaches - Stalfort, Caravana, Breschi, Towers, Munro, Starsia, et. al. ……will attempt to bring up members of his HP staff …..said all he needs to succeed are g...

looks like Jon Torpey is the heir successor.....with the blessings of consultant- alums Starsia and Munro......seems like a winner.....Breschi extols him based on his 3 years as a captain at Ohio State........hope he can thrive at a location without the some 32 fountains that grace the High Point ca...

Why the charge that Brown went out of its way to announce that Thompson was not in the running? Xanders reported that “multiple sources” confirmed….not that Brown reported ….

If the Pentagon’s (Air Force) background check on Jon Thompson up clean as well as UNC’s it should be a non-issue for Brown ……..shades of the Duke false accusations which made many involved very wealthy …….

OMG - I’m sorry I brought up “premiere program” …….but I did state that the AD was “anticipating Brown to be” a premiere program……..not that it was one……. and I would hope that the AD would be striving to meet that goal…..more importantly she will be taking those actions that can hopefully lead to B...

Not fair to lay at the feet of the coaches the 5 goal differential needed to get to the ACC tourney…..the ESPN announcers noted the figure was changing during the course of the game - 7…..3…..8?…..and finally 5…..thinking that it would be more unsettling to the players to provide the changing number...

Assistant coaches remain employed to head the program until the new coach is retained ….he will then determine their status….recruiting continues….dealing with committed recruits continues…

AD is thorough and methodical - new hire will have to exceed on her rubric…communicator/charismatic/ player developer/appreciates Brown’s uniqueness/ projects to be in Ivy Tourney annually/discipliner/ recruiting contacts/ teacher….hire by Memorial Day…..salary to be whatever it takes to land the to...

Brown’s AD intends to make Brown Lax a destination program - just as Yale, Princeton, Cornell and Penn have become destination coaching positions - no reason Brown’s coaching position can’t be the same……the will is there…..the hidden gem of the Ivies …

Kevin Casese would have no interest …he left Lehigh to position himself for the Duke job or some other perrenial Top Ten program…..Ryan Wellner would be an experienced and exceptional candidate who would take a call but would have to hear an outstanding proposal to consider a move based on the level...

Ryan Wellner, assistant at ND and Navy wanted the Brown job last time around- knows everyone, a lax junkie, coached at Chaminade and Stony Brook ( during some successful years)…..Jon Thomson would love the position - intense, Brown passionate, high character, wouldn’t talk for 48 hours after losing ...

Shame Brown couldn’t find the ball in the game’s last 4 face-offs or its goalie able to find the ball 8 times in lieu of 7…..last time (Final Four) it was an OT loss too……but last time All-Americans dotted Brown’s line-up…….this time no such credentials but instead a finally fed-up 0-4 team showed u...

Yes, Scandone, the Drexel tfer, may be the fastest (runs by defenders) on the team- very high lax IQ….the ND tfer is injured and out for the season…..solid win vs. Tufts Saturday …# 43 would be Aiden McLane who is expected to score….fall scrimmage at Rutgers exposed a lot; Tufts scrimmage Sat. helpe...

I support Larken Kemp who was infuriated with this gambit by LT.....Coda and Orfling have it right about the timing of the decision to flip....Brown has been precluded from accessing 100's of available recruits a long time ago when this kid's "commitment" was pledged......many schools, inc...

If true, we will petition the Trustees of Brown Univ. to rescind LT's diploma (assuming he got one) just as universities throughout the land have rescinded "honorary degrees" awarded to Bill Cosby.....further he will no longer be permitted to participate on any Brown team at the summer Lak...

Bearlaxfan - you mean the "Seawolves" decided to end its long-standing Brown series; Brown enjoyed the LI exposure and the trip down every other year and wanted to continue.....have to believe the Seawolves saw the handwriting on the wall ( a "L") on its annual record and decided...
