United will be a B team with all the same kids going there from 91’s B team. JM will be a failure with this venture of his.
JM or Marksberry or Dingleberry, or whatever you want to call the United coach is breaking off from 91 and forming his own club team. The only thing that team had going for it was being part of 9D1, but now that they are a separate organization, who would join? Dingleberry was a D3 player from Ithaca coaching at Farmingdale. Without 9D1, he has no connections.
Dingleberry keeps trying to play Smash, but we don't want to play them because they are no competition. Smash played United one time and United was up during the first 2 or 3 minutes, but then Smash demolished them 12-3. Since it was a 9D1 tourney, 9D1 was kind and posted a final score of 9-3 on tourney machine.
Parents are real unhappy on that team. Too many kids on that team.Total money grab. Dingleberry added an ex-Smash kid right before playing Smash. Yes, you heard that right. Dingleberry added so many kids during the year and added 2 more kids in June hoping to find a kid to make the team better to beat Smash. I feel sorry for the United parents paid and practiced together for 10 months and Dingleberry added 2 kids at the very end who didn't pay, but got to play the last 1.5 months. I am sure the kids who lost their starting spots are really happy about that. Parents say they have 30 man roster.
Now that Dingleberry is breaking off and forming his own team, you can bet that he will take more than 30 to make $$. Money now goes in his pocket since he owns his own team. Stay away from coaches who keep huge rosters, add kids throughout the year and run around thinking they are AA instead of solid B+ team. United should have competed in more mid level tournaments, conditioned their boys to win at that level and then considered AA tournaments instead of entering all AA teams at tournaments and losing so badly this year.
Based on your rants, you are obviously a parent or a coach on Smash with an axe to grind with Josh. "we don't want to play"? You really seem to be so caught living vicariously through your son's team that you don't realize how ridiculous your posts seem. Are there late additions of players that had nowhere else to play? Yes... They worked hard in practices to prove themselves. Are there kids on the team that sit? Yes.... and most of their parents were given the option to stay or move on. They chose to stay and watch their sons develop. Whether he played D3 or D1 is irrelevant to his ability to coach... So that point makes no sense. If you were well informed, you would also know that while he is separating from 91, he still has a relationship and the full support of those that also support 91. Adding kids had nothing to do with beating Smash. If United was so unworthy of playing Smash, why is it that only in that game did Jr. show up? Do you think the boys that played hard and got them to the championships deserved to sit so that he could play in just that one game against an "unworthy" team? Yes, I am a parent of a son that plays for Josh, and whichever direction he chooses, the majority of our team will follow. Not because we have to, or to win tournaments, but because he is a great coach and a great mentor for our sons. You should stop... take a breath... and just enjoy watching your son play lacrosse. It is a short period of time that you will have to enjoy it. Maybe reflect on how lucky you are that you get to experience this with your son and not be so disgustingly negative. If you really have an issue with Josh, you should "man" (or woman) up and call him. I have a sneaking suspicion you already have is number... I am sure he would be happy to hear from you.
