You are probably correct, in hindsight, that Desko let the guys play some fast break lacrosse as opposed to changing his overall outlook.  I recall several plays where I was puzzled when we had a fast break and numbers and did not attack.

Regarding the second point of disagreement, and probably not as well stated as should have been, but my point was that there is no rush to replace Desko.  He is winning, he has improved recruiting, and he has a very good team (not elite, but very good).  You don't rush out and replace him unless you have a candidate in mind.  Recall when Coach P was faltering, everyone knew he would have to go but timing is everything (yes, I know, circumstances were different) but the knee jerk reaction left the Good Doctor with little options.  You don't simply fire a winning coach unless you have someone better in line.  And that does not always work well.

Regardless, these are opinions and not worth fighting over.  SU has issues but one or two key players and SU would be playing Memorial Day Weekend.  If Tucker was healthy, that may have been sufficient difference to win a couple more games and play championship weekend.
