Where do you think Petro learned to coach? By reading this board!
- Playing Zinn more
- Pushing transition
- More Cole Williams up top
- Cutting down on turnovers
- Go deeper into the bench for FOGO, LSM, and SSDM
If only he had listened to all us experts back in February.

Didn't Petro recruit Evan Zinn or was he a hold over from the prior staff? You can't rush development and not every player is on the same timetable. I would rather see Zinn improve and solidify his spot on first mid field and be a dominant player the next three years versus a player that walks out the door as the same player he was coming in. I imagine if you were to ask Evan how his experience hasbeen this year, he won't have a problem with it. The kid was a freshman getting on the field.

Good call, actually John Haus and the previous coaching staff got a commitment letter from Zinn's parents while pregnant with him.

I suspect that you are correct about Zinn being okay with his freshman year. Though its difficult to not wonder what might have been different if he had been moved along just a tad bit quicker. No reason he couldn't have been on the field more during games that were already decided against teams like Towson, Loyola, PSU, etc.

Maybe. I also noticed Evan Zinn has/had been playing with a wrap on his hammy. Sometimes players have to show enough in practice to get more confidence in themselves and from the coaches. If Evan had hit the ground running, this year may have been different. Going from his HS team to JHU is a big jump. Not like Tinney who played a national schedule in HS and was older (I believe)...... and had a ton of confidence. My words or advice is always, make it hard for the coach NOT to play you. In the end, it is up to the players. No coach is going to sit a guy that can help him win for no reason (other than being dumb). Evan Zinn has played as a freshmen. MOST freshmen don't play. He is a good player that has continued to improve this season.

Agree with this, but note every game he has made a least one Frosh mistake, leading to a TO. As the late Al McGuire used to say, 'the best thing about Freshman is that they become Sophomores.'

(The chance to get underclassmen some PT is why I would schedule at least one cupcake per year.)
