Phi-Lacrosse-ophy Podcast with BU Head Coach Ryan Polley

This week I had a great conversation with BU Head Men's Coach, Ryan Polley.  Ryan was a terrific interview and shared his unlikely path to being a Division I Head Coach.  Ryan started playing lacrosse late!  Polley was a QB and point guard at Malverne Prep in Philly and switched over from baseball in his sophomore year.  Recruited and offered by Notre Dame and other schools, he chose Merrimack College in New Hampshire to play basketball.  After two years of hoops, he switched over to lacrosse to finish out his college career.  

Just out of college, Polley was an accountant and had the option of being the JV coach at Andover HS or the Head Coach of the girls team of a first year program.  For three years he coached girls HS...

Phi-Lacrosse-ophy Podcast UMass Head Coach Greg Cannella

One of my favorite activities is talking lacrosse with coaches.  I've been doing this regularly for my whole adult life, but it's only been the last 18 months that I've been recording them on my Phi-Lacrosse-ophy Podcast!  This week's pod with Coach Cannella was awesome! We talk about Greg's mentors:

  • Starts with Greg's Dad!
  • Tony Seaman, Lynboork HS
  • Dick Edell, University of Maryland
  • Rich Speckmann, Nassau Communitey College
  • Dick Garber, UMass
  • John Espey, Stony Brook University
  • Ted Garber, UMass

Coach Cannella and I chat about playing games at UMass and the "Hill" and how wild games were back in the late 80's.  We also talk about the many UMass greats at that time: Tommy Carmean, Scotty Hiller, Gerry Byrne, Sal Locasio, The Carr brothers, Jimmy...

College Lacrosse Recruiting

This week I did a Phi-Lacrosse-ophy Podcast with Ty Xanders, Director of Recruiting and HS content for Inside Lacrosse and one of the foremost experts on college lacrosse recruiting.

It was an incredibly interesting conversation about how the pristine, unadulterated class of 2021 has become the most under-evaluated class in the history of college lacrosse recruiting.  Why? There are simply SO man players and SO many events, it was not possible for coaches to know all the talent over the course of June and July.  Unlike in years past, coaches really didn't start paying attention to the 21's until last fall (which is .  

Even more challenging is the fact that many programs actually try to see everyone!  Watching first half on this field, 2nd half on that field and check the boxes...

Phi-Lacrosse-ophy Podcast

I had the pleasure of chatting with UMBC Head Coach Ryan Moran this week on my podcast and it was awesome!  He is an amazing guy with incredible experiences, mentors and vision.  Ryan is a classic "Coach's son" (and nephew) and is building the Retrievers into something special!  Listen to Ryan talk about his coaching journey, the ways he teaches decision making, offensive philosophies and much more!  This is an awesome listen!

Coaching Defense

Last week I had an amazing conversations with Ed Glazener and Matt Landis, formerly of Notre Dame Lacrosse and current defenders on the PLL Redwoods.  These guys along with Garret Epple trained under Gerry Byrne, current Harvard Head Coach and are defensive geniuses!  I am a self proclaimed "Disciple" of Gerry Byrne and I was super...
