What they fail to acknowledge and discuss are the very real issues that have been the catalyst for this. Some of these harsh critics of the opponents are themselves the very architects of a "pay to play" culture and position themselves to be very close to coaches to ensure the starting positions of their sons. They may be afraid that all the time spent schmoozing may be for nothing if coach is gone.

So Mr. Insider....

What are these very real issues you mention? Enlighten all of us?

Please give factual specifics... Not false rumors and half truths.



I agree completely. Those with specific knowledge of what is happening inside the program should cite specific examples of wrongdoing so the rest of us can form our opinions based on the facts.

Otherwise people are just going to opine based on their own circumstances. Someone who has a son who is a starter on this or any team is going to side with the coach and feel that he should have the autonomy to run his team how he sees fit. Someone whose son is not a starter but feels should be is going to side with those who feel that the coach has some ulterior motive, whether it is a club conflict of interest or private lesson bribery or good old fashion parent [lacrosse] kissing.

Some actual facts would help a lot.
