Some personal news:

[Bill Graham @CoachGrahamAHS]

@danarestia Hahaha funny to point out that the PLL is still a glorified pickup run.

[Bill Graham @CoachGrahamAHS]

@upstreamlax Because the PLL is an apparel and lifestyle marketing company as much as it is a lacrosse league

[Bill Graham @CoachGrahamAHS]

@Niner_m Excellent read Max - thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[Nothing Near Post @Niner_m]

Why are coaches at the highest level leaving the profession?

I partnered with The Goalie Workshop to get my thoughts out there:

@11kmrn I sell laundry and dry cleaning equipment to hotels, hospitals, laundromats, schools, dry cleaners.

@_SirLaxAlot @coachking_28 But my point is, it was organic. The teams tried to make a connection to their homes. Many players were local HS coaches or did clinics for area kids. It was still glorified summer ball, but the effort was there to be more.

[Bill Graham @CoachGrahamAHS]

@_SirLaxAlot @coachking_28 Not to say the MLL was all good. When your team was on the road it was hope they were the ESPN featured game, or you were SOL. Not to mention a certain JHU/NJ Pride midfielder hitting on my girlfriend at T's Pub post-game.

@_SirLaxAlot @coachking_28 I was a Boston Cannons season ticket holder for most of the MLL years and I feel zero connection to this incarnation of the Cannons.

At least when Quirk was the coach there was a New England guy running things. Now "Boston" is pretty meaningless on the uniforms.

The lacrosse takes on here lately have sucked on a whole new level of ass.

Unless I make them, then they are well thought out, scrupulous and accurate.

@jordiebarstool It's almost like coaches try to force slides to create mismatches

[Clocker Boys Lax @clockerboyslax]

Clockers win 🔥⏰

[Bill Graham @CoachGrahamAHS]

@jordiebarstool Yup. OK to acknowledge it's a niche sport.

@franzsherbert Now being "well read" means listening to one self-help book per month.

[Bill Graham @CoachGrahamAHS]

@Tamajapo @jc_playmakerWNY Soccer is the OG offender though. HS and college soccer are in one season, but"serious" players are playing summer, and even youth players are spring and fall

[Bill Graham @CoachGrahamAHS]

@allgarbled Yeah I'll cook myself a perfectly good steak but at a steakhouse I'm convincing my dinner partners to go in on anywhere from four to eight sides, which I'm not doing at home. Not to mention kicking things off with seafood tower.
