That was a very perfectly written reply By a very perfect person Who has perfectly perfected the art of making excuses. BBP is a good team, has nice kids and fans just like everyone else. They work very hard and should be commended for playing hard. I do however remember more than a few perfect people from BBP openly yelling and cursing at a specific player who was crying after you upset Mt.Sinai a few years back. There is no place for the taunting and yelling at kids from any fans. I will agree that the game In general has way to much flopping and flailing at all levels. Long Island has lots of talented players to celebrate. Congratulations to all the teams, patents and coaches who were lucky enough to make it to the County Playoffs, not every team or player gets to end the year on a win.

They don't use "code words" from the sideline like "trigger" to tell the girls to tighten their stick pockets because they don't have to because they don't play with illegal equipment. (oh btw, he admitted that, and apologized for it)
BBP coaches don't train player to grab their heads on any check, or take dives trying to sway the refs.
BBP coaches don't use their outside relationships to influence the way refs call the game. (count the calls in that game, see if that is a balanced game between two comparably experienced teams) BBP coaches don't pull the refs aside before a game to let them know what things should be called and how--and if they ever do speak to the refs, they invite the opposing coach over to listen as well.
BBP Alumni players don't stand on the sideline an yell disgusting obscenities at the opposing team players. BBP parents don't go up to the opposing team players after the game and say, "That's what we felt like two years ago"... an adult to a minor...
BBP doesn't cheat to win. They do not pervert and twist the intention of game to win. They play the game the way it was intended. If you are going to teach 14 to 17 year old girls to cheat to win, and find loopholes in rules to win, and use referees to gain an advantage, that does not make you a great coach, that is someone who should really consider stepping down as a coach/role model.
BBP had an excellent year, with excellent players who played together perfectly with a perfect season. And no one player outweighed the rest --- look at the stats. That team will always be a beautifully perfect team, who had a game taken from them by some who choose cheating as an acceptable way to win.
