Ridiculous post. Nitpicking the schedule then blaming Breschi by calling it coaching malpractice is going too far. Just sounds like you hold a grudge. If you're going to call him out, make sure it's for valid reasons.Finster wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 8:45 am After today, Carolina plays the following:

Not one game improves your SOS. It does lead to some theoretically easy wins, I guess.
Compare that schedule with a Maryland or Hopkins schedule. What is Breschi doing?! This is head coach malpractice. The UNC lacrosse legacy of playing on Memorial Day is being challenged here, folks.
If the Heels lose today, they’ll play the next four games
(and 27 days) getting zero SOS tournament help, while ‘preparing’ for Army, Virginia, Syracuse, Notre Dame, and Duke.
No program seeks out to play a tough OOC schedule when rebuilding with young players if they can avoid it, especially when you're in a conference like the ACC where half of your games already have built in cache. Weak years or not. You're making it sound like UNC has played all cupcakes so far. JHU, Princeton, Penn are all good teams. Taken together with what they have coming up later, it rounds out nicely.
SOS matters when you win those games. You can have the hardest schedule ever made and If you're not winning those games you're still not getting in the tournament. Scheduling is about balance. Sprinkle in easy wins with harder games. They have that. Having another Maryland game to get blitzed by 10 goals doesn't prepare them for conference play anymore than a stonybrook/highpoint combo where they can actually be competitive and win.
