UA Underclass - so Manhasset has an early exit from the NYS playoffs yet has 5 kids on the UA underclass team. WM and CSH win the states and only 1 kid from each of those squads are on the UA underclass roster. With more than 20% of the roster occupied with players from a team that made an early exit, why would anybody not expect a similar result from the UA squad?

You really have to be joking with this post. Unreal. Just STOP with the hyped tradition power HS programs. Those are SCHOOL TEAMS practicing for weeks & weeks everyday!! This was an all star team, huge difference. Your post is ridiculous, seriously.

So if a player in his HS program hadn't gone deep in playoffs in Nassau or Suffolk than he doesn't belong on the UA team because he is a bad player? So you cannot be considered "elite" if your HS team doesn't go in LIC or deep in playoffs?

Right, so you would expect a high school team with 5 all stars to do much better than they did. You just proved his point for him. I think YOUR post is rediculous. You read posts on this thread all the time about certain high school teams that are stacked and people claiming they are the best team because of their great individual players. So now somebody points out that those players made UA over kids from other more successful teams and you don't think that's fair? Sorry buddy, can't have it both ways. Maybe some of those players are only great when they play club lacrosse with the other all stars.

these all star games are all about politics. Simple. The guys coaching these teams and picking these teams are club directors. Therefore business men also who have to protect there business. Plain and simple. It is what it is. The only way to shut people up is to win. Example the Suffolk Nassau game this year. Suffolk was run by Gongas. Team Long Island. The majority of the teams were team Long Island kids. A lot of people were complaining just like everyone else on here. They didn't pick the best 20 kids. Difference is Suffolk swept. End of discussion. It's a vicious cycle but this is the way it is. If you don't have a rabbi in the game save your money. Just my take on this

Brine, Empire State games, UA, Nassau Suffolk, all total scams... always have been, always will be. Do some kids just tryout and make these teams? Sure a few for each event. The rest are all great players, but were chosen before these tryouts ever occurred.

The point that is trying to be made is that many of the best high school players on some of the better high school teams do NOT try out for this sham of a team. Their coaches tell them to stir clear. So contrary to the bias opinions of a club team owner, Catholic school coaches and a retail apparel maker, this team is obviously not representative of the best talent on Long Island.

a lot of the politics would lose their impact if parents got it that they are financing a corrupt system. if you realize that its a crooked "playing field" don't participate. if the college coaches acknowledge that its a farce, just pick out the schools you have interest in attending, attend their camps and establish your relationship. the slots getting filled early will dissipate if theres no panic to commit or get committed early. no reason to give up club teams or anything else. just play to improve and have some fun without the recruiting b.s. just a viewpoint.

If you didnt try out than say NOTHING. If your coach told you "dont bother" than fine, doesn't mean your kid is not a good player but it might mean a lack of confidence to give the process "no choice" but to put you on the team.

As far as the catholic school coaches, only one SA kid on the team. The lacrosse stick salesman, well thats another story. he wasnt even LISTED as a coach!

Maybe I do or maybe I don't. It doesn't really matter in this case because it's just common sense. If a high school team has 5 kids on it that were chosen as better than everyone else then it should translate into wins and ultimately championships. Again we aren't talking 1or 2, it's 5. Half the kids on a field. If that doesn't translate then maybe there are other players out there who are better but haven't had the benefit of being connected to the right people or teams. Don't be so defensive. Just a discussion.

You would think Manhasset was stacked with talent this year and went on cruise control through the NYS championships. The process needs to take kids who don't have over-inflated reputations and have demonstrated they actually know how to win on the field and not just on paper.

Bay Shore - 1
St. Anthony's - 1

Let's not forget that the 5 Manhasset kids went to the NYS Championship game in 2015 and SE was in the LIC in 2015...

14 schools represented out of a roster of 22 is pretty good.

I wasn't being defensive at all until u came off with a tough guy disrespectful "buddy" tone.

QUESTION, do you know how MUCH those 5 MHS players played? Meaning, maybe a few of them didn't play much. Maybe injured or bad subbing etc.

Or are you just assuming they lived on the field at the SAME TIME?

Its an all star team. Stinks that your son wasn't picked (our son been there) but it happens sometimes.

Never mind that how about:

18 of 22 kids current play for or have played for Express and one of the directors of the Express was one of the head evaluators. The discussion starts and stops there, but I guess it all depends on what side of the fence you sit on. If your kid was one of the chosen ones you think the tryout was fair and everything is rosy, if your kid went to the tryout and didnt get picked you are gonna tend to mistrust the process and call BS. Everyone knows the team was predetermined with the exception of a few spots so lets stop with the attempts to make it look better by pointing out what schools theyre from. The tryout was a farce, they would have been much better served just picking the team, announcing it and saving everyone the time, money and aggravation.

So ur fully discounting the fact that there were scores of college coaches on the sidelines during the tryouts? No value there? If 220 kids try out 90% will not make the team? Was it a waste for them to try out given the 1/10 chance to make the team?

If that's what u think stay home.... Don't try out.

Oh, and by the way...

Sometimes a good kid does not get recruited or selected for an all star event not because of there lack of skill and athletic ability, but rather because their parents are too involved and are always complaining.... You know the type... People who always complain about little Johnny's playing time, etc... Bitching about everything on BOTC...

Think about it....

With the exception of an injury, none of your points are valid. If these kids are good enough to make the LI UA team they would be on the field as much as possible. So far I haven't read one post on here that can explain how 16-18 kids who grew up playing on the same club team for the guy who ran the try outs all made the team over hundreds of very good lacrosse players from LI. Please don't tell me they are all still the best because I've seen them all play over the last several years. Some of them are and most are not. Where I come from "buddy" doesn't usually get someone that upset unless they know they're wrong or fighting a losing battle. Have a nice evening.

Actually coaching HS lax has a lot of win potential - most are tenured teachers and on LI that means a decent pay, great opportunities for extra income (camps and or coaching summer travel teams ect.) - virtually no HS coach gets fired for losing ( Rotanz and Calabria were not about the W's) having said that I wouldn't want the job because I could never deal with jack a$$ parents like myself.

by the way, I deal with some insane people at my job too but the difference between JC and me is I only deal with the crazies not their parents and my boss and my co-workers always have my back

Oh, and ur kid is not as good as u think he is...

U r really teaching him valuable life lessons here... Threaten the school board over some nonsense to get your way... Nice! What character!

So 18 years of building a program is impacted and 50 kids (I mean 49 kids) have their HS Lax experience interrupted due to the vanity and ego of a few selfish people.

Pathetic is a coach who would allow parents control what he does, it's a High School team, he is the coach, parents should not be influencing his decisions but apparently he did for several years and it has led to this outcome. Once you start catering to parents, you start going down the never ending deep dark place.

Good coaches throw up their hands in frustration and leave or are forced out. And somehow others not only rake in the dough but evaluate players for prestigious teams. Unbelievable.
