There has to be reason NM was let go. Someone mentioned it earlier in the thread. What happened? BSC parents deserve to know. I don't think you can blindly blame on FVU alone. Although they don't seem to have a plan. Dumb. There has to be an reason he was let go. Wasn't he a long standing coach at MYS, too? Why didn't they hire him? Worried he's bringing his drama and baggage across the river to us.

He was let go because he is shady. He was getting paid for all these clubs but barely around to coach. FVU told him he needs to pick one club and actually coach. He is now using the FVU 10 girls for revenge and making promises he can't keep.

ML has been a very good coach, has been at almost every practice and game since taking on the 2010s, and had them in the playoffs every year. The problem is FVU was taken over by Brave in one of the far too many mergers. One needs to ask Brave leadership why they chose to let him and the others go. Outside of that, any other comment is pure speculation. I only hope the new coaches can match the effort and results.

FVU wanted ML to stay. He decided to leave. NM is the leader of the group. He was given an option to stay and refused. He left FVU not the other way around. They asked him to chose FVU over his many different job titles at many other clubs. NM had his hands in many buckets. He said no. And brave didn't want the merger either, ecnl forced their hand. I think ML could have stayed if he wanted but decided to go with NM. Everyone makes choices.

How many clubs does MV have job titles at? Still shows as being at VYS.

Not BSC Family but played again KL and his team before, he definitely sub several kids.

Yeah KL will sub players off when they make a mistake, followed by yelling at her on the sideline until he is red in the face. GL!

KL will not be involved with the 2010's NM promised!

To think any of this is about the players is foolish!

What are MV's credentials? I don't hear much positive about him.

We'll see if that is true when BSC girls that were playing full games suddenly aren't playing at all or getting 10-15 minutes, during recruitment year. BSC and KL teams are not known for playing their subs.

He has solid credentials. You can actually look this up pretty easily.

(1) Players should go where they'll get the best opportunity and coaching. Nothing shady about deciding it should be somewhere else after a coaching change and organizational dysfunction. Clubs bring in new players all the time, why should the players feel an obligation to the club? Esp. as compared to a coach that they think did well for their development? I would follow a coach who was good for my DD's development any day over a club.

(2) Coaches offering a choice to players after a move aren't "poaching." They are letting parents and players make their own decision about what is best for them among the available options.

(3) BSC waiting until after the playoffs to make these offers, if true, speaks positively to ML's commitment to his former team. Imagine the outrage if these offers had come in the middle of a playoff run? When should it have happened? At tryout times ML had barely even been told he was being let go by FVU.

(4) The rumors about the timing of the coaching decisions, contrary to the prior oral commitments, if true, speaks to troubling organizational issues on the girls side at FVU. As does the absence of any credible explanation for the sudden about face, or serious plan about girls coaching going forward.

No dog in the fight, eh?
