US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) CHAMINADE Lacrosse. Stories and news.

The Chaminade coaching staff continually loses games that it should not lose given the talent they have. These are not selfish kids. The 2013 team -- which inexplicably lost two (three?) games -- is a perfect example. Tons of the kids from that team went on to be successful college players at excellent programs: Zenker, Dunne, and Fowler are all multi-year starters at Duke, Carrigan (3 year starter at Loyola), Lukacovic (starter/team captain at UVA), Pratt (captain at Yale), Muller (one of best defenders in country at Maryland), Cerrone (significant minutes at Duke), Tigh (starter at Yale), Mahon (starter at Harvard). The point is that these are not selfish players who performed well at Jake Reed and then mailed it in. Driven, talented kids. And, nevertheless, these coaches find ways to lose games. Very often by slowing up the offense when they should just let the players play.

Three quarters of the kids you mentioned never did a thing in college and are irrelevant, one of them is probably your son.

Sadly, like Dom at UVA the game has gotten away from Jack. It's passed him by. With all that talent at Cham this year, they should be scoring way more. Too conservative.

Rumor is the season is great Moran will retire. If not he will do one more year. He actually does very little coaching (just screams on the sideline). Who is going to replace him - Fay, Leghart, DeMeo? All buffoons...

Starting at a top 20 lax program is irrelevant? Graduating from a top school is irrelevant? Where did your son go to college? you sir are irrelevant.

This is akin to the same guys who think if your son doesn't play on the one of the top 5 or so 'elite' travel programs, they should just hang it up. It's not worth arguing with these idiots - you'll never convince them differently, but in the end, they are still just idiots.

With 2 games under their belts, it appears that the talented Juniors are having their chance to play.

4 of the top 5 total point scorers are Juniors.

Junior goalie leads as well. Senior g commit still waiting.

Dad, that you?

Yes son. Get back in the yard and practice.

Dad, why are you sending me to a school with no girls?

How does Chaminade have that little lunatic coach its Freshmen team? My son is in awe of his lack of knowledge of the game

Third string goalie committed but gets no light?
Wow... Dang it

Every single parent who has had a boy go through the program in the last decade agrees that the offense is a joke, Every single one. Including the parents of "high profile" players.

Maybe boring offense but until other teams shut them down if it works you keep using it.

That's the point - it works against their soft Catholic League schedule - it does not work against good teams...

How'd the freshman do?

Ok, the guy above this post is a jerk

Observations from the Cham St Ants game today.....

The "boring" offense of the flyers was actually very up tempo and quick.

The speed of both teams was evident.

The juniors on on the flyers are impressive (goal scorers and goalie).

The youth (4 Sophs and especially the freshman)on St Anthony's squad will make them very good for several years. Kids are gonna be excellent.

Both teams like to play tough physical LI lacrosse.

That is all.
Thank me very much!
