[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Urich spent Ten years as a D1 (Georgetown ) offensive coordinator, played 9 years in MLL, and has more recently started a D3 program in the area. NOt sure how much stronger a CV you could want!.[/quote]

He has a great lacrosse resume.

But he has no experience in running a high school program and all that that entails.

He is going to have attract good players. That means building relationship with middle school coaches (school and Club).

He may have to create his own feeder program like Club Blue or somehow take that over.

He is going to have to have Summer Camps or staff the current ones.

He is going to have to get assistants who work long hours for little money that will fit-in in Prep's unique environment. Because he is now to the school, he is not connected to the alumni that might reasonably be a source of these assistants. The new STA coach has deeper GPrep-roots than does Urick.

He is going to have to compete for Athletic Department resources/money.

He is going to have to compete with other programs (Athletic and non-Athletic) with Admissions and Financial Aid.

Lacrosse knowledge is the least of his worries. It's all the other stuff.

And who knows how good a bench coach he is.

This is a significant challenge because of how high the bar has been set.. I'd give the guy 3 or 4 years to get the program up to speed and it may never get to where Giblin had it because of increased competition and other factors.[/quote]
