Even his occasional running up the score when they're up big can perhaps be explained by cautiousness against comebacks... although 22-7 and 24-6 don't resound of sportsmanship.
The two incidents this season -- GloveGate and HugSnub -- have challenged that impression and don't seem in line with his previous character.
There could be some truth to these theories. His actions this season that have drawn criticism could reflect an overly competitive nature, which is a contrast to his otherwise calm demeanor.Laxxal22 wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 4:30 pm Everybody has someone in their friends or family who's too competitive to play board games with. JT is probably that guy, which serves him brilliantly for most of his job and for the Maryland program. He's just had moments where's poked through at unfortunate times this season. I'm sure everyone involved in yesterday's postgame has already moved on to prepping for the postseason.
It's perfectly within the D1 and youth rules to demolish your opponent and to continue to try to score on them when you're up big, just like it's perfectly within the rules to call the refs' attention to mismatched glove colors, and there are no rules on being brusque in the handshake line. He can do all that and the public can comment on it. Some coaches spend all game screaming at the refs too, which isn't admirable but tolerated. I've seen comments about overzealous celebrations, like after Kavanagh's winning goal against the Terps. That's also allowed but can shape opinions.jrn19 wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 3:42 pmI’m sorry are we playing under-8 youth lacrosse are here? It’s division 1. If you don’t want the other team to score 22 goals, save the dang ball.Gatsby wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 12:26 pm Tillman has always struck me as a classy coach.

He's easy to dislike personally? He always struck me as a pretty personable, high-integrity guy.LaxPundit07 wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 5:38 pm The handshake was weird. Tills is easy to dislike both personally and professionally. Combine those two things and it gets overblown.
Anyone recall exactly what Quint said in one of the B1G games this weekend. Something like “no one roots for Maryland, except Maryland fans” Tell us how you really feel Quint.keno in reno wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 6:26 pm We got the Reddit tin foil hat conspiracy theorists in full force.

Yes the IPad! You must not know who Bill Tierney is. If you care about a coach's married life, you have a very cool life yourself.LaxPundit07 wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 6:34 pm The iPad. The (almost) single-handedly causing the need for the shot clock. The robotic unmarried personality.
You got it right. Even Mark Dixon is showing some Tills Derangement Syndrome..."do we have another glovegate going on here?" during a normal ref stoppage in the hopkins game Thursday. And Dixon has been really good.youthathletics wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 6:44 pmAnyone recall exactly what Quint said in one of the B1G games this weekend.

Caring about his married life is a stretch. I merely said it adds to the robot persona. I don’t care at all if he is straight, gay, married, single. Just saying as it relates to this discussion, it checks another box in the robot persona.keno in reno wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 6:44 pmYes the IPad! You must not know who Bill Tierney is.

This has what to do with him personally? You have a personal relationship with the man?LaxPundit07 wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 6:34 pm The iPad. The (almost) single-handedly causing the need for the shot clock. The robotic unmarried personality.
I'm gonna say a man who I don't know is "personally unlikable" and then complain that people are taking my comments somewhere I didn't intend. What the heck did you intend then? Perhaps you shouldn't comment on the personalities of people you don't know!LaxPundit07 wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 7:03 pm Respectfully, you are taking this somewhere I didn’t intend. So I am going to bow out of the conversation. Again, it is merely a piece of the puzzle in the robot persona. That’s all I meant. The same way the broadcasters called Conry a “girl dad” after the game yesterday or the same way the White House sells our current president as a family man because of his wife and numerous children and grandchildren. Again, don’t take this to an unnecessary place. It was a pretty innocuous comment.
I never said he said anything. Complaining that people think it's weird for you to pass opinions on the marital status of a lacrosse coach is definitely something though. Same with claiming that someone you do not know and do not have any sort of relationship with is personally unlikable. It makes you come off kinda weird!random observer wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 7:17 pmHe intended exactly what he said. He did not intend what you said he said. Those are not contradictory opinions.
