[RHlax]

Does your team have a famous coach? Well as famous as a lacrosse player can be...


I know our last year's junior team featured Scott Ranger and Ryan Boyle as coaches... lucky kids....

[lyonslax98]

i guess the coach from my summer league team (who coaches our rival school's jv team) played in the mll. i have not attempted to confirm this rumor.

EDIT: ok so i checked it out, and he played in the nll for detroit. i was pretty sceptical of the mll thing but this makes sense and definitely a good source.

The good old Red Hawks. it pisses me off that they took me off the roster for some friend of the coach, who had a tumor in his leg that didn't even try out. Its because I'm black.

[JMlacrosse23]

well i wasn't coached by him, but david evans ( you guys may know him as he had the fastest shot in the MLL and played for the cannons) interviewed me for woodberry forest and if i had stayed there i would have been coached by michael caravana (team USA assistant coach) and i was coach by hilgartner ( now @ mcdonough)

[spenny]

Spenny, aren't you a high school coach or something? Someone on here once mentioned that you were their coach.

i coach a youth U15 team. (altho this season, with the new baby, i'm only an assistant. with two kids, my schedule is just too irregular to be able to be there 100% of the time) ive been asked to coach at the HS level, but the time commitment to HS lax really conflicted with my job.

I love coaching tho, just as much as i love playing. i'm looking forward to when my kids are old enough to play

i recommend that when you guys graduate from college, you all go find a team to coach and give back to the game that has given you so much

[VeronaLax17]

Let's see, my coach was in the movie american pie as the goalie in the lacrosse sceens Well lets see, my coach was in the movie American Pie as the goalie in the lacrosse scenes so he met Chris Kline and Seann William Scott hung out with them for a day and got baked with them cause that’s just the type of people they are. Also, he was the starting goalie for the final four D-2 Mercyhurst Lakers a few years back. Since were a college club team we also drink with him and he ends up buying almost everyone on the team at least one round every night. You may or may not have heard of him, Kevin Tidgewell.

[LaxBurglar]

I hope your entire team is over 21. I doubt the MDIA would like to hear its coaches buying alcohol for underage players.

[VeronaLax17]

Which is why i used the word "almost" as you may not have noticed.

My coach played pole at Colgate, he was supposedly pretty good. He ranked as high as 16th in the nation in '06 and as high as 12th in '07. For most places this wouldn't be very good but considering we're from Kentucky it's pretty amazing to have someone who played D1.
