Spallina and the talent is why this team is so good. He came in with a certain amount of cache from Adelphi with national titles. He promotes the program and sells the local kids on it. He schedules the big names and expects his kids to win, not to be just competetive. It really doesn't matter what conf you play in, you just have to strive for excellence. His model for success should be the model for all coaches at SB. He uses social media to his benefit and really sells what his program is doing. You don't hear the weather excuse when it comes to this team. They are the example of not needing an indoor practice facility in order to recruit. Big fish in a small pond seems to be working really well for Spallina and his team.
