So I guess that explains a lot about who coaches play. This is the sad state of affairs of lacrosse on Long Island. Seen it happen all the time better players sitting on the bench all the while the chosen ones are running out of gas on the field making bad decisions and horrible plays.


Are you sure?

Most coaches want to win, and play the kids who give best chance of achieving that objective. Maybe one or two cases (Manhasset last year), but generally coaches play the right kids. Unless you are at every practice and can see each kid play within the offense or defense you can't assess who the best kids are within the program framework. Just because a kid is a star at a recruiting event where individual play is the norm, doesn't mean the same kid is best fit for a given team's offense / defense.


100% sure. There are coaches that play players based on family ties, club ties, booster club ties over other players. It's sad but true. Also some coaches couldn't see talent if it smacked them in the face.


Maybe the coaches aren't wearing the same kind of rose colored glasses you use to assess your son's ability. Oh, and you can always have your kid transfer to SA or Chaminade, they are always looking for top notch talent.
Or maybe it is you who has the family, club, and booster ties and "work it" so your kid keeps playing....
