Totally agree Spallina has done amazing things with kids that have not been touted as "the best" ... even when he was at Adelphi he won championships and put them on the map. Its easy to win when you get the top athletes like Maryland and UNC; but Spallina makes his players better and actually has a plan going into a game that is executed and that is what makes him a good coach.
As for O'Leary... she has not produced a championship despite the talent that Florida draws.
1.KAH- Great strategist and knows how to maximize the talents of each kid. Winner! Down side is that she isn't warm and fuzzy and the over all experience for the players comes up short ! 2. Gait- Great developer of talent. Good strategist , comes up short in some of the Big games. Players love him! Reese- Great recruiter, Very organized and has developed the best program. 3.Spallina- Like Gait is the best developer of talent. Can maximize each players talents. Understands how to exploit the rules and use it to his advantage better than anyone. He may end up being the best 10 years from now. 4.O'Leary- Best recruiter out there. Works the hardest to get kids in . Can't deny her record from day one. Might Not the best game day coach, but kids are prepared, in shape and athletic. 5.Levy- Another great recruiter, Built a great program. Have to see if she wins without Dowd to move her up on the list. Honorable mention - Doherty
Walker? She had Rix and Stanwick who made her look good, now she is more concerned with raising money at her camps, same with Levy. Doubt those two would give that up to coach the US Team anyway.
