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

Anonymous Unregistered A	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?

Is this just a few bitter people or I wrong about being well respected? 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

Anonymous Unregistered A	JB has been let go from a few HS programs he didn’t get invited back to coach at M&D. Is now on his 3rd Coppermine team in 2 years. And applied for a number of jobs but never got hired. Gotta be something up

He still coaches 2 of those Coppermine teams. He was only a temporary coach for the third Coppermine team.

The Coach and players are the targets. Many Coaches make it real easy to blame them. See above.

JB shouldn’t take the hit because some parents of his former players don’t like the playing time their kids got. Based on his success with the 24 m&d team, maybe he was right based on playing time. As for BR, the general visceral reaction,I believe, comes from the visible way he treats others outside of his programs. Cursing out refs, running onto the field, cursing out opposing players, continuing to have social media wars with teenage girls, and of course the coaching to flop doesn’t go unnoticed either.
