We were looking forward to our son playing for coach Doller, now because of some hurt feelings or bruised egos that will not happen. BOE should not allow ego or emotion to enter decision making process. Can anyone really declare the best guy for the job will be coaching our team this year? Glad someone stepped in but the JV coach is absolutely not an upgrade to coach Doller. So then why make the change? I will ask at the next BOE meeting and its not a "personnel" query.

Good lord, let it go. No one has said anything in his defense at a board meeting yet. You're definitely not going to start now, after all is said and done. The board had numerous reasons for their decision. The program will be just fine. It's about the kids, not the coach (at least it has been in Sayville, historically).

It's Division III lacrosse. They have an incredibly weak schedule of opponents. If they have 3 kids on the team that played travel for a few years they'll make the county championship. And that's if my grandmother is coaching.

The BOE had numerous reasons to replace the long time successful coach with a JV flunky? Are you serious? Where outside of inbred Sayville BOE is that an acceptable rationale decision?

Yes, they had multiple reasons. I think that has been clearly established. You keep saying the same thing over and over but you are not equipped with the actual facts. You just keep repeating what has been told to you by lackies. It had virtually nothing to do with the events last spring about the asst coach and the fact that you base your argument on that shows how truly uninformed and disconnected you are. As the old saying goes, the loudest voice is often not the correct one.

What were the reasons? Educate me, please.

You have been the loudest detractor the whole time. We have been consistent.
99.9 % of the sayville and LI lax community are great supporters of Coach D. The entire LI lax community is baffled by the BOE in sayville. While no longer involved as a parent, I am and will always be a supporter of Coach D. When you see a coach for over 15 years giving the time he did for hundreds of kids, always on the fields for all the kids from 5 year olds to former now college players, dropping apparel off at homes the day before xmas so kids are happy the next day, he made time for everyone and was the most approachable guy for any reason, your extremely upset with a district. You can hide behind "they had many reasons" I have people on the inside, I know what went on. The BOE should have been bigger about it and worked it out. The lowest levels in our company work out differences and problems. The district is now an embarrassment

Oh get over it already!!!! Dollar bill is gone and there is nothing you can do about it. Move on. Sayville has great athletes which has been proven for years with Dollar bills sub par coaching. The program will continue to do well and will prob do better now that there is a coach who knows the game. STOP YOUR WHINING!!!!

Sir, Coach Doller had a big impact on our team last year. We beat Harborfields and SWR because of the coaching moves made by Doller. We were the same team but we had a different plan, and we won. I played for Coach and am now a Freshman playing at the next level. You are really wrong about Coach and I wish people like you knew what he did for us. Why are you so mad and happy that he is gone?

Now to a topic that actually matters... do you think Ward Melville can avoid the slip-ups it had last year and contend this season? Or will Smithtown East get in their way?

What slip ups? get in their way? what are you talking about?

I have to wonder what makes you so bitter.

Who cares?

Who cares?

These are legit lax programs that are being asked about. Most would consider them top 5 on the island, top 20 in the nation. The Sayville thing is done. It's over. There are relevant towns to discuss now.

As usual, this is a 3 maybe 4 team league. This could be another weak field like 2013 with only 1 or 2 strong teams. Smithtown East is the clear favorite but someone could surprise them. Not sure who will step up. Northport? Do they have another fogo? Melville? I think they lost a lot more than the 2 mentioned. SW? I don't think so. WI? Is this the year they make it back to the county finals? Sachem North? do they have the depth?

Odds are Smithtown East makes it 3 in a row. With the exception of West Islip do any of the other teams have good coaching? Without a bunch of studs I think Craig and the WI staff are the only ones who might have a chance.

Amazed by the lack of respect for Connetquot, even after last year.
