Riverhead, Coach of the year ! Really, Talk about doing less with more. Two all americans ,and Division 1 recruits at every position including Maryland, Hopkins, Penn State etc. etc etc . 4th place finish and 1 playoff win,, Woopie!

Mt Sinai reign is over yet the coach is still chairman of the AA committee They had a a few too, no surprise there.



First off Riverhead and Sinai have zero actual AA, that honorable mention stuff is essentially just a made up award , not recognized by US lacrosse . Second I have no problem with Bertolone chairing the AA committee as he knows the players as well as anyone. Third the failure of Riverhead as a team has little to do with the coach , its the parents and their attitudes that trickle down to the kids so the chemistry is horrendous, that and honestly the players are listening to the parents more the coach.


Coaching plays a huge role. That said, even a great coach will not win without a decent amount of talented athletes but a team filled with talent will not win with out a good coach. A bad coach will destroy the team. Stop with the parent BS.



You are just completely wrong ,she is a decent coach .The team has decent individual talent (not as good as they think) but the chemistry is a nightmare . That bad chemistry comes from the parents and if you think chemistry does not matter you are clueless.


Of course chemistry matters. Good coaches lead and they set the tone of the team. Parents are not at practice and they are not on the sideline during games. There are teams that have had a lot more talent than Riverhead and they have not been able to win because of poor coaching.


For example?
