crabs has dad coaches all the way through hoco. TJ and Brian have a combined three kids on those teams. TJ- 2027 and Brian is an assistant on both 2028 and 2026 teams and has a kid on each team (Brian is the one that was suspended a few games back for inappropriate behavior at an 8th grade game). The head coach at 2028 wanted to step down last year and is now just a figure head. Parents were complaining that he was checked out last year. And now he also travels a lot to watch his own freshman kid play in college. Brian runs that team and always runs the lines. Same deal at 2026 because RM coaches multiple teams and never even played lacrosse himself so Brian has to run the team for him. TJ is new at 2027 but just like at his previous club, he’ll start to take over. That dude’s ego is almost as big as his gut.

Daddy Ball seems really bad at 2028. Heard 91 and FCA have the same problems.

At 91, 3/3 coaches are team dads. With a 4th dad in the wings who has previously Dad-Coached at 91, FCA, and Predators.

FCA seems to be a revolving mix of dads and non-dads.
Dads coaching is fine. It’s when they favor their kid when it’s a real problem, both for other kids and the parents who see it, but can’t say anything. If a dad is a coach, he has to be tougher on his kid than anyone else— and cannot favor his own. Recipe for disaster. Happens in all sports.

Well stated. It does happen in all sports. In lax, the biggest problem is when the Coach's dad plays a key role in the offense. Intentionally or not, over time, the offense seems to funnel through Dad's son. It does tend to lead to some team success since there is some kind of "vision" but it clearly is not a meritocracy. Which is kind of on brand since we all know youth lax is not a true meritocracy anyway.
