[quote=Anonymous]For people who know Mike Kubik there is no question that he is an outstanding educator in the classroom and on the field and Prep would be lucky to have him back.  He's quirky but he cares about the kids, he does things the right way and he's an absolute lacrosse savant.

He built a successful wrestling program at Prep his first go round at the school (dispelling the suggestion that he's not a Head Coach) and there's no question he could do it again with lacrosse.

The most recent Landon lacrosse teams would not have seen the success they did without Kubik leading the offense. That's not a knock on McGettigan or the rest of the staff - it's just commentary on what Kubik brought.

Ask the last 2 graduating classes at Landon - Kubik is 100% invested in the kids, their development and them doing it the right way. He is old school in the best sense of the word while still understanding how things work in today's world.

Some parents have/may bristle at the fact that he detests "me" ball and places the success of the team over the success of the individual - that should be embraced by any school.

Prep has had a good amount of talent the last few years, but they've been playing "club ball" with a complete lack of an offensive scheme from the GP's coaches - that's why there's been a decline after they lost the incredible talent of the '23 class. Kubik immediately solves that issue (plus he provides Prep with a great teacher).

Kubik knows the area, he has the Mater Dei ties (not the end all be all, but it doesn't hurt to have that pipeline) and the guy is passionate about lacrosse and continues to take the opportunity to learn from others - something a lot of people with his experience don't do.

There are certainly other candidates out there who could be successful in the position, but why would Prep pass up the opportunity to bring an alum back into the fold given all of the above, plus it gets someone in place immediately and it places their biggest rival, Landon, at a disadvantage moving forward. It's a no-brainer and it will be interesting to see if Prep gets it right or manages to bungle what should be an easy call.
