Been saying this for a few years, but UNC is a continual underachiever. For a program with five national championships, with that Nike money, with those academics, with that campus, with that overall sports program, with that brand new stadium...WHAT is going on with Breschi's team? I know people like the guy, he seems like a good dude. But, he gets a top 5 recruiting class every year and yet the team is unranked! They are now 0-4 since losing to High Point. They'll likely lose to ND and Duke the next two weeks. 0-6 to finish the season, you have to imagine the AD and the alums are going to seriously reevaluate the leadership. And why was Pietramala brought in when Syracuse seemed happy to run him out of town? The guy is a legend, but I think his D-schemes haven't evolved. Or, he's just worn out and not motivating. I don't know. The offense is a mess. It's Duffy shooting 85% of the time with a few from Pietro Jr. Why don't they run a long pole on the wing on faceoffs? Not sure I've ever seen that. Losing four in a row, something isn't working, fellas. And, you could argue if Chris Grey didn't fall into their laps and they go on a playoff tear, Breschi doesn't have an NC. They've been lackluster for years. And this isn't the first loss to High Point. John Haus didn't work out and Breschi has missed the playoffs FIVE times in the last six seasons. It's about to be 6/7. I can't imagine a program like MD, UVA, ND, Duke or Syracuse keeping a coach around with that sort of mediocrity. At that school, with that campus, with that athletic dept $$$ a coach should be able to roll the ball out and stay in the top 10 every season. Also, three sons of coaches on the team. And a SIXTY-FOUR man roster. Is this a club team with a huge budget or a varsity team? Imagine the locker room dynamic these next two weeks..."Jeez, Coach is doing an awful job....er, hey, Dominic! Not your dad, I meant the other coach...Oh, hey! Alex! Didn't see you there...not YOUR dad! I meant our strength and conditioning coach." But maybe the S&C coach also has a son on the 64 guy roster? Final thought: if UNC finishes up 0-6, does Danowski lure Duffy down the road? I can't imagine the #1 recruit is going to be happy going 6-8 and coming back as a sophomore with a new coach and a rebuild.
"player's coach" just doesn't work well at the top echelon of D1, it's a game of inches. UNC needs a good system coach that can create repeatable success with all the resources they have at their disposal
Firstly, let's acknowledge that UNC lacrosse has a rich history, boasting five national championships and enjoying substantial support from both Nike and the academic institution. However, past glories don't guarantee future success, and it's clear from recent performances that there are issues that need addressing. Regarding Coach Breschi, it's undeniable that he's well-respected and has consistently recruited top talent. Yet, the lack of results on the field raises questions about coaching effectiveness. While it's easy to speculate about the reasons behind the team's struggles, it's important to recognize that coaching is a complex endeavor, influenced by numerous factors including player development, team chemistry, and in-game strategy. Bringing in Pietramala, despite his legendary status, is a move that warrants scrutiny. While his expertise may have been sought to bolster the team's defensive capabilities, it's fair to question whether his coaching style aligns with the needs of the program. However, it's premature to pass judgment without a thorough understanding of his role within the coaching staff and the team dynamics. The comment rightly highlights concerns about the team's offensive strategy, particularly the over-reliance on certain players. Diversifying offensive tactics and empowering other players to contribute could potentially alleviate some of the team's scoring woes. The mention of UNC's roster size and the presence of coaches' sons on the team raises intriguing points about team dynamics and potential conflicts of interest. While a large roster can offer depth and flexibility, it also presents challenges in managing playing time and fostering a cohesive team culture. However, it's important to avoid speculating about internal dynamics without concrete evidence. Ultimately, the suggestion of a potential coaching change and the recruitment of star players like Duffy are valid considerations. However, decisions about the coaching staff and roster composition should be based on a comprehensive evaluation of performance, rather than knee-jerk reactions to a string of losses. In conclusion, while the criticisms leveled against UNC lacrosse are valid, it's essential to approach them with nuance and refrain from making sweeping judgments. Addressing the team's challenges will require a collaborative effort from coaches, players, and administrators, with a focus on improving performance and restoring the program to its former glory.
