I was just making the observation that the GW roster actually reflects in some ways the makeup of the student body, not necessarily relevant to the larger point.   And very few rosters mirror the composition of the student body.

My point I guess, is that if he wants more physical, tough and tough-minded players, he should recruit players that have that potential not kids that are accustomed to being coddled, subject to having their feelings hurt by "tough love" and running to administration as soon as the coach does something they don't like.

But, really my bigger point is that he needs to manage his roster, he built the roster.    If he has a bunch of kids that don't fit his coaching style it's on him, not the kids.    If he can't relate to his players and resolve conflict within his locker room before they run to the AD and the Washington Post he's not doing his job effectively.    It doesn't matter that he may have been effective at Catholic, his schtick may not be working at GW.   I am sure you realize it, but Catholic is Division III, much differnt dynamic in terms of the type of athletes, kids and families that you can expect to work with at the two schools.
