Its real life. If you you direct an F-bomb to your boss at work - you will pay the price. Do you think college coaches are going to put up with this behaviour and attitude. These talented boys have got to learn that if they are disrespectful they will not see the field. Their dad's can blame whatever else and suggest whatever coaching agenda they want, the problem on the field in the Nassau tryouts was crystal clear and made onlookers cringe.



Thats not always true. We played a team in early fall from wading river and the coaches cursed at the kids, Grabbed the kids by their helmets and jerseys. The kids looked mortified by their coaches, We didn't see the refs stop the game or stop the coaches. So when is the balance between yelling and bullying going to end with lacrosse and other sports. Bullying doesn't make these kids more talented or stronger....it teaches them how to be cowards and how to disrespect others. the game has evolved but not in a good way.


I agree. There is no place for coaches yelling and bullying the kids. Someday one of these kids will videotape these inappropriate tirades and post it on you tube. Then maybe some ADs will be embarassed enough to reign in their coaches.

But parents can and should expect their children to remain respectful on the field - and if their children are not and are "kicked to the curb" because of it they need to own that and stop blaming other factors.
