I know this is a board of SU lacrosse but Mike Messere has been a big part of SU lacrosse with all the players he sent here over the years. I remember when we won our first national title in 1983, West Genny recruits were said to have been a big part of building that team. I wondered what SU lacrosse fans think about the rift that developed between Coach Messere and his players this year, resulting in an embarrassingly one-sided loss in the state title game:
West Genesee lacrosse legend Mike Messere bids salty farewell to players: 'They quit a long time ago'
West Genesee superintendent defends lacrosse players against charge that they quit
'Next guy up': Ex-West Genesee lacrosse players offer advice for Mike Messere's replacement
It's a sad thing that such an iconic coach ends his career on a note like this but his comments about his players also seem very harsh. I remember when Casey Stengel was fired as the Yankees manager, not all the players were shocked or upset by the change as Stengel became more and more intolerant of mistakes, especially by young players. is the game really any different than it was in past decades? Are young people any different?
