I would also point out that UR tried to prevent Lasalla from going to the goal and the result was wing line mates, Chizmar and Sallade having big days on offense. There are no clear answers.. yet.....to stopping Virginia's offense. Shut off Shellenberger and there are 5 other guys who can score a hat trick or more on you. There is a lot of lacrosse left to play and the biggest challenges and best teams lie ahead for Virginia. So far, this offense appears to be Virginia's best since their undefeated 2006 team.51percentcorn wrote: ↑Mon Mar 06, 2023 8:44 amMust prevent their dizzying runs and can't let LaSalla score - make them work for everything. Their Shots on Goal per game average is not far off from Hopkins Shot average (30 to 36) so I think that tells you Marcille better get in the way of anywhere from 14-18. It's a really tall order.
Chemotti did something as a coach which drives me insane, which is never mixing things up.
By sending both Richmond wings toward the Richmond end at the whistle, cutting off Lasalla sure, of course the other two UVA wings get to have a field day.
A coach should instead (in effect) call audibles, mixing up which wing drops back and which sprints to the Faceoff scrum. If Lasalla knows both the opponent wings are predictably headed south at the whistle, he can comfortably clamp and pitch to either of his own wings. If Lasalla is unsure who’s coming versus who’s dropping back, he’s not going to have it nearly as easily.
THINK!!!!!
