[quote=Anonymous]Let's be honest, all things being equal a coach will take a tall girl over a shorter girl. Period. If you don't agree, you don't watch enough sports. Bigger is better, in EVERY sport.
That stunad Bill Parcells never saw that he actually thought Joe Morris 5'6" on a good day was better than Brandon Jacobs 6'4". All things are never equal.
Wow. You must not watch sports much. You definitely never played any. There is a reason athletes come in different sizes. There are obvious advantages to being big or small. Good coaches recognize that and use the miss match. Lacrosse is no different. JJ Watt can't cover Julian Edelman or Darren sproles and they can't block him. Porzingas,doesn't cover point guards or visa versa. When it comes to recruiting in lacrosse , a good coach will find a mix of kids. Jenn Levy recruited Maggie bill and Allie messenger. Complete opposite body types and playing style. As far as all things being equal, you take the bigger kid, problem is all things are never equal. Shorter kids always have shorter steps which give them more quickness. Bigger kids always have more reach and take up more space. BTW Joe Morris was a better running back. Jacobs ran too straight up and was an easy target especially in short yardage!
