LB's JV team was not full of Looney's kids. Had a mix of FCA, GT, DCE, True, freshman that saw plenty of field time. That being said, coaching was an issue, alot of constant changing of players so the kids could not get in a good routine/flow.
Former players from Loyola who are now at UMD coached the team. They did a great job and the kids had a blast.
Had a blast? Loyola's JV team loved being shuffled around? Not what I heard.
They had 5 new (non starting) defensemen go on the field whenever there was a penalty. Then they then swapped all 3 defensemen on quarters.
When you start random substitutions on that level, you have too many players. And players can't get any rhythm.
Good for the staff, trying to get these kids a scrap of playing time. But defensemen were held down on JV with the promise of "getting game experience. " Playing a quarter or at most, half a game, just isn't helpful.
