There are several. BOTC has asked that the kids not be named. Rightfully so. With that being said it is silly to attemp to defend that there is an enormous bias when it comes to events that are run by Carol. It is so obvious and has been talked about for so long that kids don't even show up sometimes. That is an issue in itself and a bad by product of parents and coaches sitting back and allowing her reach to grow. Even if you want to defend her you will agree she has been dividing the LI lacrosse community and alienating LI from the rest of the country. For example the relationship between TG and Skywalkers and many other clubs verse the yellow jackets relationship with other clubs. Really look at the whole situation. It starts from the top and trickles down. It's about integrity. Or lack there of.


Here is where you get it wrong. People are not protecting the selectors. They are protecting the kids selected! When you say there was bias, you are saying some players are not worthy. People will take offense to that, just like you are taking offense to your daughter not being selected.
That being said there is always some bias that comes along with familiarity, but the top 15 or so would be the top 15 or so at any tryout or college recruiting list. That list includes YJ's, TG and Liberty kids. After that you will have a larger pool of players that could possibly fill the back part of the roster. That is where the bias may come in to play, but all the kids and a few more are worthy. If a player had that good of a tryout they would stick out 2 fields over just like those top 15 do. That is why the whole bias conspiracy theories don't go anywhere because that no brainer girl who got left off doesn't exist.


I disagree.
First, How do you know a no brained was not left off. I'll go further and say even a YJ who doesn't suck up to Csrol WAS left off. The bias is now affecting YJ kids who don't "participate".
Second, your logic concerning the "top players" is a subjective list isn't it? Isn't that what tryouts are for? Further, using your logic UA should be by invite with the exception of the "back end" players. Who makes up the list of invited vs tryout kids. Carol? Your scenario is exactly where we are now sort of because SHE has a list of "top players" already picked and yes some are not deserving. That knowledge that the public has prevents kids from even showing up.
Lastly, the addition of a third goalie to the two returning kids from last year is an in your face move. It stinks of political patronage as the other two returners are unanimously the best in the state if not the country. Ask any coach (other than YJs Rose, Weiner and Ferraro).
unanimously the best in the state if not the country, says who ? I think there is better than both Y.J. goalies. It's you that sounds biased. Take off the gold and blue collared glasses
