He was the king of inverting his middies and stubbornly sticking to that system despite scoring 5-6 goals a game--even when he had loads of talent at Maryland. Not a fan of his O strategy, but Amplo was sort of left in a bind when Phipps left late in the cycle. I thought after the Hop win that the Mids were playing looser and extending the defense effectively. Navy has some guys that can real snipe, they don't need to force it inside and try to get layups every possession.

I do not disagree WRT to Cottle or how Amplo was hung out to dry in the 11th hour; agree completely.

I also know when Cottle was coaching for a local Annapolis Club team, alongside others, those teams' offenses were not predominantly what he did while at UMD.

I don’t think so. They aren’t good. Don’t think it matters who they hired.

"....I kind of have an idea of exactly what was said and I’ll just keep it at that,” Amplo said...

Amplo was extremely angry and could be seen screaming at a Colgate assistant upon completion of the handshake line. He then had a brief heated discussion with Colgate coach Matt Karweck before the two embraced and went their separate ways.

Need quick outlet passes. Let the goalie pass it upfield.
We're giving the 10 man ride teams too much time to set up between the restraining lines.
