Fanlax should start charging IL for insider info....they just rip from this forum...I know of at least one journalist who searches for his name on here...

Cuse should be interviewing Jake Coon HC RIT.

He brings everything thet need to the table. He coached the UMASS D when they went to the title game. He is an excellent goalie coach. He is a CNY/WNY guy. He is excellent with recruiting and people. He recruits the kind of of player GG likes. Great connections on Canada he probably has more Canadians on his team than almost anyone. Two titles. I expect RIT to go D-1 before to long. I don’t believe i have ever discussed coaches much if at all but this is a perfect fit

Great call...Coon would be an outstanding pick for SU.

I can't see Coon leaving. He's making very good money and has carte blache to do or spend what he wants at RIT.

RIT has a unique situation with international students allowing him to bring more Canadians than any other school.

Of course. Needless to say, he would have to want to take on a new challenge.

Coon can get a statue at RIT so agree unlikely he moves. Not sure they move to D1 I haven’t heard the institutional commitment to it ever but the name comes up regularly. D3 is really fine for most places of higher Ed w respect to true student athletes don’t want the pollution of D1 even if they have hickey. RPI had been rumored occasionally to move io but w football zero chance of that despite Shirley Jackson getting them into the 3 comma club of endowments.

does metz get them on their horse in the shot clock era? more evidence points to needing to be able to score.

i didn't look up denver's pace of play, but i'm gonna guess one thing brown will do differently is look to pick it up some.

It's interesting, denver has always played with pace WRT to moving the ball, but was always slow to pull the trigger on the shot...IMO it was Tierney's achilleas heel. He seemed to want ball control as much as possible and 'not settle' for a good shot, but the best shot or dunk. It was often frustrating to watch.

russell, lacrosse reference does the best job of accumulating stats.

Good coaches have a funny way of landing on their feet. The year Breschi happens to can Metzy happens to be the same year the Big Dog retires out west. Leaving an opening on his staff for his old tried and true assistant to fly west to the Rockies. Good for Coach B, Coach T, Coach Metz, and Denver.

[CU77]

If by "Coach B" you mean Matt Brown, then I agree.

[LaxPundit07]

Correct. Coach Brown; not Breschi.

[jrn19]

Per Lax Ref, time to first shot (how long it took you to take your first shot in an offensive possession) last season in D1, Denver was....73rd.

So yeah....pretty dang slow. This year was by far the slowest they've ever been though, most years they're in the 50s. Highest they've been since 2018 is in the 40s.

Breaking: @Mount_MLAX has hired longtime Mercyhurst head coach Chris Ryan to take over the program, multiple sources tell @Inside_Lacrosse. Ryan took @hurstmlaxtrain to the DII Final Four nine times, won a title in 2011 and made it to the national championship game this year.

Well most of us cannot be all that surprised that Petro is heading down to Chapel Hill to coach jus twins, but they did lose Metzbower who was a big part of 7 natty championships & I still cannot believe that no one has snatched up Simon Conor from Nova ( with his crazy motion offense) and his Delbarton pipeline

I agree, just seems really odd to get rid of Metzbower and the addition you make is Petro? Petro is a great coach, but it seems like a very lateral step at best.

[Magbride14]

Ok, with the Manhattan HC heading up to Cuse, now the Jaspers should go after Simon Conor at Nova, after 16 seasons on the main line maybe it is time for a change of scenery for Mike Corrados asst coach. He can bring his motion offense and his Delbarton pipeline to Manhattan, just throwing it out there

[Farfromgeneva]

No point since ND and Duke are going to be in a bidding war for him soon. Throwing that out there.

[backerzone]

Why is not Simon Conor and his Delbarton pipeline running for president?

This bit went from being funny, to weird, back to being funny again, and now I think it's circled back to weird. If it goes on another month or two then it's got a chance to cycle back to funny. Have to give props to the commitment.
