Ill say this, in a one game scenario Ill take Scott Craig over any coach in Suffolk or Nassau hands down.
I will give you my opinion on why West Islip varsity programs do well on both the boys and the girls side. Both varsity coaches live in West Islip their kids go to West Islip. They are very invested in the PAL programs within the town. I can't speak for coaches of other varsity teams, but I would imagine that they live outside the school district where they coach. Therefore are probably invested in the PAL programs within their own town. So these coaches in West Islip know these kids from the time the five years old and they build a very strong personal program


Some Coaches talk about how they're great coaches and how they live and breath coaching. Others are just really strong lacrosse coaches and prove it on the field, year in and year out. Craig is LI legend. He just knows the game. Love him or hate him, you can't deny his Coaching ability.
