Enough of the histrionics, now for the lacrosse analysis, RRs were the best coached team on the carpet at Byrd. They have a current high school/college level coach who game plans and makes adjustments accordingly. The RRs didn't foul as much as their opponents and their MDD and EMO sets were much more effective than their counterparts. They have consistently shown this over the past summer and fall. Outdated and one dimensional offenses and ineffective transition games are easy prey for an experienced and well prepared coaching staff and team. I do like the fact that the Crabs, Team 91, RRs, Hawks and FCA are all within several goals of each other talent wise. It makes for fun competitive lacrosse. What you're going to see over the next three years on the club scene is that coaching matters more the older the boys get. Last summer and this fall's results are a harbinger of things to come. Any club that rests on its laurels and doesn't improve (player development, acquisition and most importantly coaching wise) won't reach its potential.
