And that sound you're hearing is the last gasp of lacrosse dying at Bishop Ireton. Dodds will officially make them a raging dumpster fire.

Why do you say that?

Took St Stephen's from a solid IAC team to near rock bottom. Anyone hiring him to do anything more than pick up balls and lock up cages is making a horrible mistake giving him any control over a lacrosse program.

That’s a bad take and a cheap shot against Dodds. He was a good coach that ran a solid program and led us to multiple state championships before running into the same overarching problem that Ince is inheriting - recruiting. SSSA has a school admissions office that is unfriendly to athletes and an Alexandria pipeline that’s a fraction of what it once was. Ince is at the mercy of factors he doesn’t control. Jerks like the one who made the post above will be making the same ignorant comment about Ince in a few years. Good luck to Dodds at Ireton. We were happy to have him coach our son.

KJ certainly seems to get her kids with little issue.

KJ’s pipeline is totally different. It’s been in place for a generation and the girls who apply (mostly) don’t need any help from admissions.

“About the easiest ever to resolve” - yes, recruit and admit top players who can’t currently get in and/or choose to go elsewhere now. Any other words of wisdom?

SSSAs boys lax problems run deeper than whoever the coach is. After this season they lose the only D1 commits they have left. It will take years to begin turning the program around IF Ince can convince families to give it a shot and admissions gets a clue. Until then they will be a bottom feeder in the league regardless of who is coach.

Good Counsel did it in 2 seasons with the coach simply telling the parents of good players their kid will play right away and he has connections to college. SJC did it in 2 seasons by promising 12 Annapolis Hawks (appx 8 stayed all 4 years) parents their kids would play right away and he has connections to college. It's not that difficult.

Agreed. Dodds is a good guy but he does not run a good box. His focus on "developing players" well into playoffs did not help the team succeed in such a tough conference. Seemingly simple concepts like clearing the ball were not addressed from a strong coaching perspective. No question recruiting athletes into SSSAS has become a real problem and they are losing their identity in several key sports within a very competitive conference. But not doing the best with the players that you have is a coaching issue.

1 legit example (SJC) and one to “to early to tell” example doesn’t = “it’s not that difficult”

That’s the formula with the crazy full pay so our kid can go to bowdoin crowd. GC wiil be in the WCAC playoff semifinal mix until smith moves on. And sta will still be at the bottom next year.

I don’t but he’s been moving up the ladder for a good while and he’s a good coach.
