Kids need to get over this idea that he has all this power over their lacrosse playing careers and let their game speak for itself. Wherever they want to play.


These weren't kids who played for Madlax and wanted to leave. These were kids who didn't play for Madlax and were pressured to play for Madlax. Read the post. There were kids at that school who played for other clubs. He told those kids that if they didn't play for Madlax, there would be consequences when it came to play for their HS team. He had that power because he was their HS coach.

Not the same as what he did later when he threatened that player who left. Except in both cases he put the threats in writing, so the school had no choice but to fire him.
