[jory]

There is one thread that i found similar to this but i wanted to a poll to see how many coaches have experience or no experience at all.

thread:

I brought this up because our new coach played for the 1993 syracuse championship team and he was mvp of the playoffs. what experience does your coach have?

[TitanLax]

our coach played D1 college as a middie...long time ago, as he is now shaped like a planet (small legs to bigger part of leg to huge stomach to smaller upper body)...nonetheless he knows his stuff.
of our assistants, one played for Notre Dame, one for Indiana, one plays for Toledo, and one played goalie somwhere...

2 of my coaches played at ohio state, one back in the day and one graduated in december. my other coach played at Brown back at the day and is now the president of a MLL team

[DQLAX22]

my 8th grade coach went to DIII college (forget what school) and he couldve gone pro in box/ Canadian but he got into a motorcycle (i think) accident and screwed up his achilles tendon, but out head varsity coach played DI at UVA and was an all american and won a championship there (i think) and he is now trying out for pro or has already i dont really know

[GBSLax25]

Our coach is Doug Shanahan of the Chicago Machine. He has 3 years of experience with the MLL at Philadelphia. He played at Hofstra and was All American his last two years.

[Dadabhoy_Muzzi]

Our coach plays pro box. He plays for Rochester Knighthawks. His name is Livingstone, Carter.

[Coldfire]

Our coach played pro for the cannons

[DeftGoalie28]

My coach was a two-time all-american at Brown back in the day

[laxdevil666]

My 8th grade coach was Roy Colsey, from syracuse, plays for philly, i shouldnt have to go on about his credentials. he is possibly going to be helping out with our varsity team next year. which would be good because having someone who is so involved with the game helps a ton. this year, we had a kids brother who graduated from Amherst help out with out team and it made a hige difference. The other brother still goes to Amherst and is a AA there, was a NESCAC rookie of the year a coupple of years back.

[Wubbie]

My old coach never touched a lacrosse stick, in his life...

Now our new coach played for the Riptide's D... Dan Cocchi, I believe.

[ByrdDpole]

He's not my coach now...but he will be soon..he played up north. I know he played college ball, but I can't remember where. I thnk it was in new York or minnesota.

[Hawkeye]

[rezi lax5]

My coach was Brian Cole...he played D1 for Mt St Mary's and set all kinds of face off records that still stand in the NCAA...he graduated in 2001. He also played pro on the Philadelphia Wings

[laxfolife24]

My coach played DIII Lax in college for Villanova.

[somrandomguy]

So this thread makes me want to cry now. Why? Because the other day, we officially became a varsity team, and now we are screwed as far as coaching goes. The district requires all coaches to have 64 hours of college, and the only one of our coaches who does is the coach is not only knows nothing about lacrosse, but is a bad coach in general.

[lax4life6]

my coach played attack for Ualbany. hes pretty young so it couldnt have been more than 3-4 years ago at most. hes still really nasty and hes a pretty good coach

[marflax33]

Ours played at syracuse. D1, oh yes.

[snell31]

We get new coaches every year that have just finished college. This year we had guys that played at maryland and a guy that played at vermont.

My old coach left to be an assistant at Denver University. Current coach played just colleg club, could have gone Division 1 but chose to come to Wisconsin for rowing instead.

[EndlesFimbulvet]

Head Coach- None. Seriously none at all. Let me give you an example;
In our last game, our Face-Off Man's stick was checked by refs, it was legal before the game, but is ruled illegal after many faceoffs. Coach says: "_____, WHY IS YOUR STICK ILEGAL!?!!?" ____ says "Coach, I face off." Coach says "That doesent change anything!" One of our assistant coaches had to explain to him over the course of 10 minutes that facing off pinches your stick.
Our first a. coach played DII I think.
Our second a. coach played at Utica, and the JV coach played at Lemoyne last year, Adam Carne.

[GAlax3]

my coach that is leaving this year was a high school AA and im pretty sure he played goalie d1, and then was a defensive coach at w and l
