I saw RW Wednesday on Long Island. He was wearing his Navy colors proudly. I did not get a chance to chat with him but did make note of him talking with some of the Chaminade and St. Anthony's parents and faculty. Could he have been meeting with SBU earlier in the day? BTW, both the Chaminade and St. Ant's Navy commits looked good in that game. For those wondering.

That does not make sense. Why weaken the Women's program?  I say young assistant with great lacrosse mind that can relate to younger generation. I would like to see someone from a top tier program, Duke, Maryland etc.

Agreed. I don’t see how/why Spallina would wanna leave behind the women’s program he’s  built. He’s well compensated, more and more big time recruits are coming in and there is unfinished business (final four/national title).

again without any inside information on this one- i'd add that even if it is spallina, fortunately the women's program is at a point where it can probably attract a top coach.

and if he gets the job, i fear that expectations will be sky high and that's usually a let down.  if you don't win the AE in year one, everyone's going to question- why did you hire the women's coach.

also, another item to add to the wish list is to avoid a "stepping stone" coach.  a young asst with higher aspirations that will just leave after cutting teeth at SB.  would be nice to get a longer term candidate.

Unfortunately We are a mid major, the young assistant only advances if we win. We do need an old retread. If a young coach comes in here and leads us to AE titles and a couple of NCAA wins our franchise is worth more and we can attract his replacement.

The Ideal longer term candidate is in the mold of a Kevin Cassese type, that model can work to. Not too old but experienced with solid results
