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.

Not surprising other than I agree Covid might have given him by RagingBull
a reprieve. I'm surprised it has been 20 years. The last 5 years haven't been great and that Final 4 in 2015 extended his tenure.
I think Hopkins lacrosse mirrors ND Football in a lot of ways. Scott = Rockne, Ciccarone = Ara and Zimmerman = Holtz *although Zimmerman's departure was far more controversial).
It's hard to say that Pietramala has underachieved at Hopkins but 2007 is getting farther away. I don't think he's a great representative of Hopkins. You think of all the coaching class acts in the lacrosse world - Danowski, Tiffany, Tillman, Twomey, Shay, Tierney - I wouldn't put Pietramala in that same class.
