You literally just used a long winded response to say nothing . All of the final four teams have at times used a face guard this season , yet you know more than any of the best coaches in the game . “Employing a face guard displays lack of confidence in your defense or incompetence as a coach, “ what a bunch of drivel .

Why would a coach use a face guard?

Coaches feel if certain players get the ball in their stick they wouldn't be able to stop them. So they instead try to prevent them from getting the ball by using a face guard. Lack of confidence in their own defensive players.

I disagree a little with your assessment on having no confidence in your defense. A properly placed FG can cause the opposing offense to be less dynamic and if the other offensive players don't step up, they crash and burn. If you can stop a team from getting into top gear, it can make life easier. You see this with players getting doubled as well. If the player cannot get out of a FG, they need to do a little more work IMO.

UNC Coach showed complete confidence in her players, BC Coach showed a lack of confidence, she obviously believes in face guarding vs dominant players because she does not think her team can stop them straight up. Nothing wrong with it, it's a tactic that some coaches use but if they have complete confidence they do not use it.

So if a team plays zone vs. man are they less confident as well? Face guarding is a legitimate style of defense and almost got them a national title. UNC was held to its 2nd lowest goal total on the season.
