I really can't believe warming up the goalies is back - I only have myself to blame. But let's make one final point about this insanity - the original post was that Hopkins was missing the greatest opportunity in the world by not sending out a mid 40 year old man with bad knees to warm up the goalie because he was a phenomenal player and the offensive coordinator is the only person in the room that can do this one task that obviously determines the outcome of the game. When presented with facts that contradicted this - i.e. Chic warmed up goalies - Cowan - according to his bio - was not on the staff when Quinn was playing - crickets. So now apparently, Hopkins lax should send out a tweet or e-mail telling us whether Crawley warms up the goalies or not and we can all bother not to watch if he doesn't. Season's over. If precision in game preparation is really an issue in the Cordish Center - I doubt a single person here is close enough to identify it.
On the last sentence, that's quite likely true.
Just to be clear, nothing that
I wrote was pertaining to the current Hopkins program.
So, if you're seeing "insanity", you may just be squinting too hard?
I'm not sure what the middle part of that paragraph was about at all.
