[quote=Anonymous]As a former college lax coach at a D1 university, they don’t care about scores, who beat who.  They don’t care about rankings because everyone knows us club lax rankings are garbage.  They care about finding the right athlete or right fit for their program and want to see that athlete play in competitive games.  Yes, we all know who the more well known powerhouse clubs are, and yes they tend to gravitate to those clubs sometimes first to watch players.  This all depends if they have a shot at signing that player.  Coaches also have to be realistic as to where they spend their time.  For example, if Capital beats m&d, again, coaches don’t care, they want to evaluate the players for who they are plying against top competition. I myself and many other coaches have attended lopsided games and just got up and went to watch another one, because the kids we were looking at couldn’t really perform at the e level that the coaches wanted to see them perform because the competition was horrible.  But not one coach came running up to other coaches and immediately started talking about score.  Yes they will say it’s not worth watching because it’s a lopsided game, but no coaches care about the score.  
Infact, not sure if this is true, but I heard some tournaments in the future if it’s just a showcase maynot even keep score or post it, because it doesn’t make sense when the athletes are their to perform the best they can.  Keeping score also alters how the students play and again, coaches don’t want to see a stall or a team down by 3 goals frantically changing their style likes it’s the national championship and start forcing bad shots just to score.  
Again, just my opinion and my over 12 years of coaching at that level.  
I hope I did some Justice with this post but as I always say, everyone’s entitled to their own opinion.  [/quote]
