[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lmao, the HC at Bullis cares nothing, NOTHING, about kids…. Neither do several
Of the top local Private school programs. The same goes for college level D1…. The parents that live through their kids on this forum are delusional to think that they do. Winning, name sake, legacy, and to be in the conversation is what they truly care about….. period.[/quote]

This is probably a little unfair. When there was the coup attempt years back, lots of Bullis alums who appreciate Bellistri stepped up to help save his job. Additionally, he has made a smaller school relevant in the IAC for 15 years against Prep and Landon, both much larger boys schools. Does he likely have some ego as a HC? Sure. Is all he cares about his high school lacrosse legacy? No.

Bullis couldn't compete with Prep and Landon by just building through their school, they've had to go get kids, and Bellistri has consistently done that. They've also won IAC championships when they weren't the overwhelming favorites and had at least one top 5 national finish. Neither of those happens on talent alone.

As for this year's team, they lost to Prep twice by 2, Gonzaga by 2, Landon by 5, and St. Paul's by 1 in OT. Would they like to have won some of those? Of course, but it isn't a catastrophic fall off.

For those thinking that Dave Mitchell could be a savior, remember that DeMatha hasn't been great under his stewardship with a lot of criticism looking at Xs and Os. If Mitchell does end up being the next Bullis HC, he can probably funnel talent via Next Level, but would want to enlist some great assistants. [/quote]
