JB is actually a good coach and I'll give him kudos because he is not a parent coaching his kid or coaching a different age group at the club where his kid(s) play. But he lets his personal ideas of who he wants succeeding on the field cloud who is actually producing and it leads to frustration and hard feelings. It's a trap that a lot of coaches fall into. If the sun shines on your kid it's great and you love that coach. But the amount of damage done to girls' careers when a coach deems them not worthy or not good enough is devastating. JB falls in that category. That's part of the reputation That M&D Black 2024 team could have been one of the best ever, but several strong players left before 8th grade because of this very reason. Where exactly did those strong players go? And not sure the team got much worse as I just looked up their Sophomore year numbers and looks like they only lost 1 game that entire year to Heroes. And majority of M&D24 best players were from out of state and just flew in for games. They came for the M&D name and not JB. Anyone know why JB left MV? JB was asked to leave. It wasn't his choice. That was obvious to everyone except JB. JB is a good coach. HC just using him as a scapegoat

I thought JB was a well respected coach in the area and am seeing a lot of negativity on here lately. Is this just a few bitter people or I wrong about being well respected?

Having a really good team that's only going to be more competitive in the next few years?

JB has a great lacrosse mind and great connections. He tends to pick favorites amongst the girls (based on who he thinks will get the farthest strictly on lax skills and sometimes writing off girls too early) so the positive vs negative JB posts probably come from wherever their daughter fit on that scale

JB knows the game but leverages his favorites vs playing team ball. It works most of the time but his micromanagement is not for everyone.

JB is far from well respected except from his favorites. When you have been fired from many programs... it's not the programs.

My daughter played for him and learned a ton, grew as a player and a person. Great lacrosse mind and also cares about his players.
