Edge, FCA and Madlax all 3-0 today at McD. 9d1 and Crabs beatdown by Madlax and FCA. Crabs way too talented to play such bad lacrosse. But it’s been that way for years with this team. 9d1 lost a lot of talent.
Edge was a 2021 team. FCA played nobody. Madlax same thing played nobody. MD91 has lost a lot. RR looked banged up more players not dress than dress to play. API shocker not playing a zone. West coast stars over matched. Over all some good fall lacrosse in bad conditions.
So Crabs has now become nobody?
Crabs looked good. FCA has greatly improved. MadLax looks better and handled 91, but 91 has a lot of talent and played short-handed. RR had half a dozen kids in street clothes and crutches and struggled with API. API played well and look to be improved as well. Wouldn't put too much stock in these games, but what is clear is that on any given day, any of these teams can steal a win.
Crabs looked good against Looneys and DCE "B" team? I would hope so. When they played another A team they got killed. It's been 4 years now and nothing has changed. No clue how to run an offense that can get good looks. If their big middies can't fire one in from 15 yards out they can't score against good defenses. I'm sure RM will yell at them enough that something will change. The problem is, RM has no idea how to actually coach and teach an offense that isn't simply taking your big holdbacks and driving the alley to shoot. But hey, they're Crabs. Wearing that jersey is all you need. Actually learning to play lacrosse is secondary. And if your son can't cut it, RM will bring someone in who can to replace him since he has no idea how to make your son a better player.
This Crabs team has some good players, the problem is that RM is not a good coach or teacher of lacrosse. He has shown this repeatedly over the years. When he had the 2020 team, his weak coaching cost that team several victories by making bad decisions throughout the game, The same is happening with this team. He and the program would be better served if the coaching of this and future teams were given over to people who can coach and teach/grow kids in lax IQ. RM does a good job of setting up great tournaments and this is where his focus should be and not on coaching. Also these kids do not need a coach who yells at them and belittles them during games and even during practice..
