I do question the fit personality-wise, and think Darien could have made a much better hire. But I don't think Ric will have any issues with their Youth League traditions. While he's only been on the staff for a couple of years, Beardsley intermittently ran preseason clinics for the high school team dating as far back as 2009, so he does have long-time familiarity with how and why Brameier ran things the way he did.
The Darien Youth League genuinely one of the five best youth programs in the country, and churns out a lot of defensive talent -- their way of doing things is beyond question. NEW-1 has been able to poach more heavily in recent years, which is the only reason they've dropped off from being a perennial top 10 team nationally.
