I was at the PT South Salem lacrosse tourney this past weekend and I have to comment on the behavior of the coach of Westport 5th / 6th team.
The coach loudly berated the players at half-time, enough so, that all the adults at that field could hear him. He wasn’t swearing, but his choice of words and tone were so out of place. Then, the coach was attending to one of his hurt players on the field and started to engage the adults, in a very brief combative manner.


For my limited experience (1 game) with this coach/team, I’m appalled that Westport allows this behavior. The Coach demonstrated no knowledge in lacrosse, however, he does have college (UConn) and NFL (Lions) playing experience and can be seen on his soapbox for ESPN.


If this is his normal behavior, I would pull my kid from that team ASAP.
