If he can change his philosophy.
It's also hard for someone who's been a head coach for a long time to play second fiddle.
My first order thought is that this marriage won't last long.

I’ll bet it lasts longer than the Petro boys commitment to UNC

-If petro had stayed out he echoes quints earlier comments that he wouldn't have been able to return to d1 coaching
-spends a lot of time on a theme he made last year when petro was dismissed that lacrosse is moving beyond just syracuse/hopkins and the maryland/LI/upstate new york hotbeds and that this job will be tougher than if they had paired up 20 years ago

what he didn't address
-The issues Petro had at Hopkins that have been discussed here for a long time and whether they'll continue at syracuse. It's more of something for cuse than us now I guess.

This is a priceless opportunity for Coach Pietramala to resurrect his Division I coaching career. Should be interesting to see what he does with it. Best wishes to him.

Football and Basketball coaches do this all the time, I think they’ll figure it out.

Spallina and Dom P - that'll help in a couple years

Petro had to go but this is still a rough day.

Paul Rabil
imagine being 16 and getting a call from petro and gait...i would’ve been SHOOK

@KyleHarrison18
WHEW. Iont like the color Orange like that, but if I got this call as a high schooler I’m pullin up.

puke

It has already been figured out if responsibilities are the question. Implementing will need to worked on

Twins are leaving UNC barring something I don’t know about Breschi and Petro are friends. Gait and Petro too. Breschi will understand the twins wanting to play for their dad. Spellina and Dom are ranked 1/2 in their class. Dwan’s son will also be at Cuse if memory serves.

Lacrosse is a small community.

I mean, yeah, but it's not 2000 anymore. We'll see how this works out.

Cuse remembers the player from the late 80s. Some reporter over there will do his record against the acc since rabil graduated.

The SU-JHU rivalry is about to shift into turbo.

depends how cuse is drinking.

Matnum I think you've seen in the tweets by petro's hopkins players over the last year it's not just going to be cuse vs jhu, it's going to also be petros alumni against an administration they feel wronged their mentor.

What's strange to me (which is consistent with what you're pointing out) is that Petro was adopted by the Baltimore lacrosse community (including JHU). As were his boys. I guess that's how these things work. You get angry at friends but it takes family to *really* tick you off.

27 wins, 45 losses = 37.5% win vs ACC opponents since 2006 (this includes when UMD was in the ACC)

duke/unc/notre dame record is not pretty and the cuse fanatics will have to hope they're getting the first 5 years of his tenure at hopkins not the last 15.

Well, look at it this way: at least now you'll get to see if you were right that Koesterer is a better D coach.

I've never brought up Koesterer before now.

I thought it was friendly banter. My mistake.

If he gets named DC, you and I get to test our opinions on the importance of coaching in real time. Should be some good fun.

You think not only the Kaestner is a better D coach....you think that coaching can fix deficient/lesser talent.

It was friendly banter. But now the horse is dead, buried, and decomposing.

I am beginning to think Petro stole your girlfriend or stole your lunch money. Don't worry, they'll be plenty more to despise of him when his team rolls over yours.

Lol aren't you the "no one wants to go to Hopkins now because of the Freddie Gray riots" guy?

News flash: Cuse already rolled over Hopkins in 2020 when Petro was still the coach. If his team didn't get absolutely obliterated in that game then, who knows, maybe he'd still be coaching at Homewood. If Cuse "rolls over" Hopkins again next year (based on how each team looked by the end of this season, not sure I'd bet on that, but I digress) then what would that say about the team he left for the new staff?

I've defended Petro a lot over the years—others who have been here a long time can attest to that. I'm allowed to be nauseated by the fact that he will now be wearing orange on the sidelines. It's unsettling.

"HomewoodHomer"—you don't sound like much of a homer. I wish Petro well on a personal level. But my ultimate allegiance is to the program, not to an individual coach.
