Not a bad day of lacrosse but they really need to stop billing this as a top recruiting event. Just call it a "Tournament". Not very competitive and very few college coaches in attendance. Strange comment. Did you see the list of teams there? And well over 100 college coaches there. Not strange at all. Just pointing out that it is not indicative of most HS Teams. Many of the teams are missing players and many of the kids have been playing a fall sport. None of the teams did "well" relative to where they will be in the spring. for the 17's who are still trying to find a home and for the 18's in the middle of the recruiting process and certainly for the 19's this is not a "premier recruiting event". That is how the organizers market this tournament. There is nothing wrong with the event but to say that it is a big time recruiting tournament is misleading. My son got about good 10 calls from this event last year. He eventually chose another school, but it was a very good recruiting even for us. What grade was he in at the time, and were the calls a result of the individual event? 10th. The regular HS games.

It is the access to the facilities for his club. The club and the clinics is where the cash is at. But obviously you are a short sighted fool so you can't see that. Doesn't the head coach have another travel club affiliation? Will he let his asst have the access he is looking for to support the competition? I am sure there is common thread between the two clubs. Otherwise the two coaches wouldn't be coaching together.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Originally Posted by Anonymous Question. When are college coaches able to contact players? I though it wasn't until Jr year. The game is simple. The college coach contacts the HS or club coach and asks him to pass along his phone number to the player/parent to call the college coach. There is no rule against kid/parent contacting the college coach. Also, they will contact kids via e-mail. They send an e-mail in which they write "we are unable to contact you about recruiting...." attached will be a questionnaire with a special code.

You're not from Islip, but if you were, you would only have the side of coach's camp. That happens to be the side with less facts. Besides, since when does SAyville need a good coach to beat Islip??

Didn't know there were sides to the removal of the coach. I was told administration didn't like the coach and parents embarrassed them at a board meeting. So the coach got the axe. I'm assume you have a different version of the truth but I don't care. Looking forward to kicking some soft Sayville butt this season. BTW, my buddy said they won't make it to the county championship like last year.

Anonymous Unregistered A	The boys lacrosse program at sayville is done! The mentality that the team played with was a tough, aggressive,confident, winning mentality that was projected from the head coach. That guy was everywhere for his program and I KNOW the parents and players loved the guy. I know there is one poster on here that will completely disagree but he don't even have a kid on the program. If he did he would upset at what the boe has done.

Every program around us has been getting stronger and I have to believe we will take a step backwards. FWIW, I still can't figure out why coach Doller wasn't brought back. It's truly baffling and I don't think administration should make personnel decisions without providing reasons for major changes.

It's against policy to comment on personnel issues (zero accountability) until elections. I agree, we should be made aware why decisions are being made, especially under these circumstances.

Anonymous Unregistered A	We have been over this many times. Parents stood up for the lax program last February and made them loom bad. The coach was fired bc he let the parents know what was going on. So the coach that started the program and has directed for 15+ years was fired. Correct, the lax community will speak up come election time. They will be picked off one at a time.

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).
