Two points: 1) why are we so bad at groundballs?  Is it coaching or is it the players we have?  Seems a lot of it is will, hustle & effort.  No?  2) 90 plus percent of mens college lacrosse coaches would have called TO when we got the ball in OT and brought in the box in order to set up a play.  Why didn't GG?  Is it his arrogance or his ignorance in having so little experience coaching the mens game?  As has been said on here Birtwhistle didn't take a great shot but they weren't getting many openings and he thought he had one.  Maybe going high would have been better.  The coaches have to have a play to call in that situation.  It should be practiced every week.  Five or so years ago I wrote Wildhack to replace Desko & put GG in that position.  Now I'm wondering whether he has it to succeed.  Last year he seemed like a disaster, if he coached at all last year, and I've heard that halfway through the season he lost the locker room.  I worry it could happen again this year with making boneheaded decisions like not calling the TO.
