This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

He's built a midwestern power in lacrosse by flanner96

Don't underestimate how hard that was to do. Particularly at the time he was hired.

All these other schools are taking up lacrosse in no small part BECAUSE they see ND as a model for success. For a large part of his tenure he's had no scholarships to work with. He's lost the national title game by 1 and 2 goals and his game plans for both of those games were rock solid.

We're the only program to make the quarterfinals each of the last six years. I'll take his kind of consistency any day of the week. When he retires, the team should begin playing at Corrigan Field at Arlotta Stadium.

I'm not going to call for his firing because of one tough road loss. And I can't think of any other coaches who are in position to come here who I'd rather have.
