Do you have an issue to vet or do you just want to take up space and whine? I guess whine. I needed a snickers! They asked to change the name. I did. proving it was a simple thing to do. But I also believe it should remain with the HS Lax header and the one offs should have their own thread if they take on a life of its own.

I think the acute issues that flare up should remain on the HS thread so anyone interested in HS programs can follow the issues and learn what's happening outside their district. I have learned a lot by reading about others issues. The Sayville issue is one I want to follow. What if my towns very popular and successful coach was targeted by the Board or a Board member? What recourse do I have as a resident? We are a few towns over but we know [lacrosse] successful the Sayville program has been. If that coach can be removed because of a disgruntled board member and the parents are powerless to stop it. It can happen to us.

Doesn't matter how good your coach is, if you get one angry parent who can get enough people behind them they can destroy anything.

Most of the kids already play on travel teams, so most kids didn't want to play on both. They also still have the school team and are doing tournaments with that.

Assuming the school costs $50,000 per year. 12.5 x $50,000 = $625,000 in athletic money for 45 plus players per year. Approximately $14,000 per year per player, if distributed equally. Some will get $1,500 per year, others will get $25,000. With a school that isn't fully funded, it means there's just less money available.

The cost of a scholarship to the school is not the actual tuition/room and board that they charge a student, there is a margin. The cost to the school would be the above line gross cost (COG). The school doesn't hand the student-athlete the money and bill the student for the tuition, etc.

Anonymous Unregistered A	There are tons of committed kids going to schools for essentially book money. Rosters are expanding and funding is going down. Attendance for the final 4 has been down for 7 consecutive years after peaking in 2007 at 100k and ending up this year with just 50k. These numbers have everyone concerned and are directly tied to deciding who will continue to fully fund there programs. Great articles in the NY times talking about the only people that seem to care are the parents of players and recruits while the casual fan has been turned off from the game. Growth rates are also down off the highs of 16% down to just 3.5% the last two years. The game needs help expanding spectator interest.

Denver created the first push West with a high quality program and Stanford could do the same. They already run high quality D1 programs in football, basketball, etc.

Where are their HS memories? I assume that you are talking about a summer tournament team. I am sure that SE and SW will both field JV teams this spring. I think the BOE and AD realized that there is a clear conflict of interest so they put an end to the BS. I think you will see some other administrations follow and put an end to the collusion, coercion and extortion that has been going on.

It is very annoying to see womens volleyball and softball get so mych more air time than lacrosse when it's the fastest growing sport! The game needs help expanding spectator interest.

Fastest growing sport? The growth rate is at 3.5% and TV is down 50%!!! Just because some schools are adding teams doesn't mean anyone cares except for the players and their families

They think that the Sayville boys are so talented that if we had a REAL coach we would win the County every year. Here's a tip our athletes are no better than the athletes in other towns! Some are great some are average and some are terrible. Just like everywhere else. It takes a good coach to recognize talent and to utilize it correctly in order to be successful. The man has been that! His crime was pissing off some suits on the school board because he stood up to them in the name of safety. I'll take a guy like that every time over some worm. Sayville Royalty????? What the [lacrosse] are you clowns talking about? That may be the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard. Posts like that make you look idiotic and ruin your credibility. These are the same kinds of statements and ideas that made you all come across as meatheads at the board meeting. I'm all for Coach getting his job back, but calling out a large percentage of the community like that is senseless and prejudicial. The people causing the removal of Coach D should have been called out and if those statements are deemed prejudicial, maybe they are fitting. I still don't understand how a Board removes a coach because of the actions of parents. The decision was not intended to improve the program, it was an emotional reaction to a group of parents who fought for the benefit of the program. Listen Mr. M, we're on the same side of the fence on this one. I never asked for, or even thought about, the coach being removed. But calling out people just because their family has strong roots in the community is just plain stupid. I fall into that category. So do many of my friends and our children. I've never, ever, exhibited the aforementioned characteristics and take great offense to them. If you're going to throw stones, be careful that your aim is good or you may alienate yourself even more. If enough people show up to the next Board of Ed meeting to voice their opinions, then the answer is yes. The Board should represent the citizens of the town/ district that employs them. If they need to hear from us, we need to show up and express our indignation with what has been done thus far and ensure the wrong is righted. Similar to the meeting before last spring season. I think they have dragged the process out over time expecting us to lose interest, well I have not lost interest. In fact, I am more emboldened to be as proactive as possible. I hope the people who caused this to happen in the first place show up and publicly express their opinions and wishes. But, we all know that will never happen. Who is the Sayville Boys lacrosse varsity coach? Varsity lax teams are preparing to begin indoor lax practices and we still don't have an answer. I keep hearing "Don't worry, they will bring back Coach D" but why haven't they already done it? A few disgruntled parents should NOT be allowed to ruin a program. Is anyone else from Sayville concerned?

The superintendent and board of education need to make a decision based on available candidates since they decided this was the proper path to travel down.

They want a coach that doesn't get them phone calls or surprise visits at board meetings.

You also need a coach who is going to demand your best, treat you like a man-not a child, set the winning tone and be an example to follow. We have that in Coach D, but some parents want special treatment and want their kids to be babied. Great lesson to teach your kids, Mom & Dad.
