Presented Without Comment: D1 Coaches and Playing Time

The Pittsburgh Laxpower thread has gotten completely out of control. Do you think this is true or not?

There’s definitely less parents meddling, but there are still many who are doing it and are much more ruthless and sneaky than high school parents. People who say that it doesn’t affect coaches are blind. A few bad words from a parent to other parents in a home district can kill a college coach’s recruiting ability in that area. Coaches know that. Also, with college lacrosse not being a revenue generating sport and not getting top notch funding, I’ve seen where a well placed donation to the school for a lacrosse program can affect playing time.
