[quote=Anonymous]Every top team (Taz, 91MD, Bethesda) has at least one defender that is the same size as Madlax's middie. If the Madlax middie played D, nobody would say a word. When he dominates in the offensive zone, everyone starts hating on him claiming he has an unfair size advantage. If you ever get the opportunity to hang out with Myles Jones, he will tell you similar stories. When Myles (like Paul Rabil) switched from basketball to lacrosse, his coaches gave him a long pole and told him he couldn't play offense. For the sake of the game, I am glad he proved them wrong. When youth coaches take all the little kids and give them short sticks, and give all the big kids long poles. They are robbing the game of some of the best offensive players.
wow . He is a good player , let's not get crazy .
Listen up jealous, big-kid dad. You obviously never played lacrosse. Let me tell you how lacrosse works, as a 15 year youth coach and former D1 player. The best players play attack. The good players play midfield. The least best (worst) players play defense. Size doesn't have much to do with it. There are plenty of big attackman out there, in case you haven't been paying attention. News flash: Your kid just aint good!!!
That may be the most misguided post I have ever read. Here comes the typical name calling, lax resume, or well worded, long winded (I am smart) respose. Brace for it. Lol.
I agree , When they are young, 7-10 that maybe the case. After that Strong defense and Midfield and attack win games. You need them all to be strong . That's why it's a team sport . Would not want to be my D1 coach.
No idea of what your point is or who you are agreeing with. Want to try that again???

LOL. CERTAINLY. I agree that happens in Lacrosse at a young age . Not once they get into 4th grade and above. A D! coach would never say anything that stupid. I would never want him to be my coach.
