BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) High School Lax Boys

That's what I'm saying! Not from GC, but a different powerhouse. Not condoning it but that the laxbro! On my son's team the top performers indulge. Lots of things wrong and right in this world. Everyone has an opinion. Do your job and shut your mouth!

I'm hearing rumblings that damage control is underway and the boys involved will receive just a few days suspension from practice. If this is the case, the AD should resign.. She has no control over any of the HS coaches most of who have been at GCHS for years. The programs are not nearly as successful as they were in years past or as they should/could be. Nepotism, favoritism,and plain old bulls$&@ are rampant on all varsiity teams. It's a disgrace to the community just like this situation is.

As of yesterday; all involved players kicked off of team.. A one week school suspension was handed down. One known commit spot has been designated as "vacated" by that university.

Status of HC and AD unknown.

Coach reported to be "crying" as he informed his players of the situation at practice.

The HC must take the brunt of the responsibility in this case. Yes, parents should have could have done better and are suffering as a result; but the players are under the wing of the coach.

This coach has a long history of mentally beating down players. He has poor interpersonal relation skills. The result of this over the years has been for the players to show him as much respect as he shows them. There has been a loss of honor and values that stem from coaches instilling these virtues into his players and the players having pride in displaying the same.

The parents of this town sit huddled quietly and do not want to rock the boat as this coach has positioned himself as the gateway to college lax and expects the masses to bow down to him. And they do. His draconian practices are tolerated only as they have come to accept him as the savior.

It is time for this HC to come under review for his abusive ways. A psychological evaluation is not out of the question either.

Too many players have been subjected to this "crying" abusive person.

His tears I am sure are for himself and how much his image has been tarnished. He cares not one iota for his players as people nor does he take up the charge to be a true leader as one would hope and expect. His players would collectively put him through a wall rather than run through one for him.

Time for change. Drastic change.

Amen!

Sounds like a lot of GC coaches. starts in PAL and goes from there. people in charge are the problem.

Come on. You sound like a mommy who never played sports and expects everyone to get a participation trophy. It seems you have your own agenda. How about put the kids in foster homes because their parents failed them. You see how ridiculous that sounds. You trying to blame the coach is just as ridiculous. He is a high school coach not their parents. It's always someone else's fault.

Mr. Moderater , can you please make a new thread for the GC drama. This is getting old. There are a lot of great games being played now mid season not getting airtime beach use of this nonsense. Thank you.

I am not a Mr and if you want to talk about something else, do it.

Ok Mr [lacrosse] can you change thread????

There's another powerhouse?

ridiculous sounding until its your kid who was supposed to be safely supervised. and if it was harder drugs and an OD occurred with your kid you would be OK with that I am sure (rolls eyes)

You can keep the better lacrosse team . I'll still enjoy my $2m house ha hahahah

I am from PA and someone told me about this site a few years back. I go on here where I need a little humor in my day. You guys are funny! The sad thing is, I think you are actually serious! All I can say is wow, I am glad I don't live on Long Island, why are you guys so angry all the time?

GC crushed today by Ridgefield. What has happened to this once mighty program? Not just GC, Chaminade too! Those 2014/2015 senior classes are sorely missed.

Traffic, taxes and FLIDS everywhere

Enough with GC already, we are all bored

Then talk about some other program like Carey or Levittown Division.

Just got too crowded.Too many immigrants. Trump's gonna straighten it out for us.

This thread is very disturbing. I do not know which kids were involved and don't care to know. To the people who are being negative to the coach, it is sad. Being a friend of his and a colleague, I have the utmost respect for him both as a coach and person. The student-athletes of Garden City should be proud to have him as a coach. His commitment to his team and players is amazing. He has a work ethic second to none. I would like to know what the coach and AD did wrong. Some people should be ashamed of themselves, not those 2. It is easy to write things without posting your name.
I am Proud to have coached with him and to call the Garden City coach a friend.

No, many kids in GC quit lacrosse early in their high school career because if you are not one of the chosen disciples whose dad is a big donor to the program or a legacy of a former player at GC, chances are u will never see the field unless a blowout. This is a town that does not lift kids up, but discourages them with a lot of head games.

So why practice 6 days a week, miss vacations, and be perpetually abused by one of the nastiest coaches on the Island just to be a "practice player". Even the studs can't wait to get away from this jerk when their high school careers are over. Big mistake having a coach that grew up in the town as the head coach.

GC isn't the GC of old, and not the lax program. I grew up in Franklin Square just on the other side of the CC. The town was filled with Germans mostly but now its been over run by new immigrants from Pakistan, India, etc. Nassau county is going downhill.

Don't worry, I heard Mangano is gonna build a Wall.

IS Mexico going to pay for it?
