Wouldn't be interesting to see all of the "Benched" kids at Syosset whose parents are destroying the program start and play every game without the committed players. Those parents would need to spend more money than they do on the booster club for professional counseling when their son's ego's are broken over an 0-16 record with embarrassing lopsided scores. Oh and by committed I mean to the HS program - nothing to do with college lax at all.

Syosset lacrosse is a top 25 program and is a true meritocracy. Best kids play. This is clearly communicated by the coaching staff each year. If your kid works hard and develops the needed skills he will play. This has been proven out many times over the years.

Coaching staff could eliminate 95% of all issues if they had cuts and weeded out the weaker / lazy players.. But, the philosophy of the program has always been that it is about much more than lacrosse wins and losses... It is about developing character in young men, and that each kid on the team can contribute in his own way.

If you or your kid doesn't like the way the team is run LEAVE, there are many other options available. Don't trash a coach who has poured all of his energy and time (at the expense of his family) into a program that he built from scratch and don't negatively impact the other 49 kids who are enjoying their lacrosse experience at Syosset.
