Bullis will likely run the Hoyas off the field again.

Should be, but we'll see.

Not unless the AD is retiring and the president is leaving.

Alumni can be more persuasive than you give them credit for.

Well, some (*cough* donors *cough*) more than others.

As long as Danny Paro remains the AD at Prep, expect nothing to change with who the head lacrosse coach is.

Prep alumni on a few occasions have tried to bring back Giblin and its fallen on deaf ears.

Correct. Also, the decision to start the freshman goalie over the senior was done with the backing of both the AD and the President. There's no chance that happened without their blessing. The GP alumni think they have some pull, they have none.

So the President and the AD have decisional authority over who plays. Yeah that’s either (1) a quite steamy crock, or (2) Real Housewives level drama in a friggin HS lax program.

1. Goalie play is not the reason GP is having its worst season in over a decade. I'm not buying for a second the President of the school is involved with player personnel decisions on who starts vs who sits. The President of the school has much larger priorities to deal with then strategize for a lacrosse team.

2. GP alumni for the most part live under a rock. Not all but most of them I come across come off as arrogant and don't have much perspective on how the sport is evolving and growing. This is not the 1990's anymore and the legacy of the program is not going to attract talent to the school like it once did.

Prep has plenty of talent on its roster they just don't play well together as a team. Too much club / hero ball is on display at Prep. Several of their starters could start for Landon or Bullis or their peer schools from the WCAC (GZ or SJC or GC).

Concur. The two games I’ve watched they made many really bad shot decisions that demonstrated a total lack of clock, X, team mate or slide awareness, and the clears were chaos. The clears, sure you can put some of that on the goalie. But the rest is on the coaching and discipline. They have real talent. But some terrible habits.

1. Starting a freshman goalie at a school like GP with the competition it plays sends a message to the rest of the team. The upperclassmen don't like it and they play differently when one of their guys is sat down. In addition, the senior was sat down in a game they were winning and hasn't seen the field since even over 6 straight losses. At any of the higher end tuition schools, you better believe the president knows exactly who is in the class and what kind of standing that family presents. The president at GP is very sharp and keenly aware of what is going on.

2. The only alumni GP and other high end schools care about are those who write a large check. You are correct in this is not the 1990's. The makeup of the school both in person and physical appearance resembles nothing of the 90's. GP just had a big fundraiser and almost every single donor was a parent and not an alum.

GP will continue to move farther away from MD as their senior leadership have all retired and relationships have aged out. Look for GP to grow more and more into a school more resembling Deerfield than GP circa 1990.

Ok, but Deerfield is good at lax. Like, the modern version.
