In reply to: sparman 's message, "Re: Congratulations to Princeton on winning The National Title" on 08:00:29 05/26/26 Tue

My take is similar to that of sparman's. First, the differential between what Ivy lacrosse coaches make and what the so-called big boys do is much smaller than exists in men's basketball or even women's basketball.

I would guess that, in lacrosse, a deficit earned by an Ivy coach can be overcome by summer camps and other secondary sources of income. In other words, if you're willing to hustle and try to monetize your time, you can probably get close to what the guy at Virginia is making.

The bigger question is where you are better situated to win.

At Northwestern, Berube can win a bigger conference title and conceivably even a national title, as the Wildcats have done in field hockey and women's lacrosse this year. She's not winning a national title working out of Jadwin Gym.

But in lacrosse, an Ivy coach can actually win it all. Indeed, it looks like lacrosse will actually be able to resist the downward pressure in basketball and some other Olympic sports. In basketball, we lose our best players to Michigan and Florida. Nobody's transferred out of the league in lacrosse yet (without his Ivy degree).

I think the big difference is that an Ivy League degree has a higher value to the kind of suburban, often private school kid who plays lacrosse and wants to work in finance, law or other traditional Ivy careers.

Nobody disagrees that Berube is in a much bigger pond at Northwestern. What does Virginia offer a head coach from Princeton, Cornell or Yale who has already lifted the big trophy?

Obviously, it's a different calculus for one of his assistants.

Author: sparman [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 11:20:31 05/26/26 Tue New UVA head coach is former assistant Kevin Cassese. He had previously been long time HC at Lehigh, before leaving to take an assistant position at UVA in what was considered an unusal move. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYzmdWKOmGv/?igsh=MjdsdG5pbGt1dHE3 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Given that Cassese had been doing just fine at Lehigh and could have stayed indefinitely, it would appear that he received some sort of handshake agreement to be the head-coach-in-waiting behind Tiffany.

I would imagine that most "in-waiting" understandings are not expected to last many years. I wonder what the back story here is, given the turmoil going on among the players and coaches at UVa. What a storm. Who would want to leave a comfortable yet high upside job in New Haven, Ithaca or Princeton for that kind of drama?
