The last goal Mike Powell scored was a fast break on a breakaway with under a minuet  to go it put Syracuse up by 2 and Desko was beyond livid with him because all they had to do was kill the clock. Instead  Navy got the ball back scored and almost tied it if it werent for a diving trail check from Park  they very well may have tied it. I totally agree with Mike that the game has lost alot of its free flow and creativity but I would credit that to Bill Tierney and the Princeton Tigers of the 90's and early 2000's with his redlight offense. The offense was designed to capitalize on Syracuse's aggressive style by holding the ball until the defense grew frustrated made a mistake or took a penalty in turn it kept the ball out of Syracuse's stick frustrating the players on offense so that when they did get the ball they rushed  trying to make things happen resulting in a high rate of turn overs. It was an incredibly painful style of lacrosse to watch as a Syracuse fan  in my opinion it was horrible for the game but it was fantastic for Tierney and Princeton to the tune of 6 titles in 10 years. When Desko took over he came up with the hybrid  of pushing transition when it was there but also being able to  play 6 on 6 in my opinion he is the most versatile coach of all time his in game adjustments are second to none. With that said I dont think he is anywhere near the players  coach Simmons was he is just not that way. All in all the game has changed do I wish  it was more like the 80's and 90's with out a doubt I do but I agree 100 percent that SU would lose more games and in my opinion have several less titles
