That's gotta be getting close to the best winning percentage in all divisions, all sports. I believe back a year or two ago, the only one ahead of Coach Brandt in that department was the football coach at Mt. Union. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (FalconAlum02) http://d3soccer.yuku.com/sreply/9654 Tue, 24 Jan 2006 14:37:51 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Is Coach ready for prime time? ]]> http://d3soccer.yuku.com/reply/9653/t/Is-Coach-ready-for-prime-time-.html#reply-9653

Yes.

Let's talk about his coaching moves in the final four...putting Rachel Horning in and creating the only good chance for Messiah. If you'd play the numbers he would have had a different player on the field (that scored more goals during the year), but wouldn't have created the chance that won the game. It seems to me that a coach that has had teams in the Final Four the past few years doesn't deserve to be second guessed and... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (trizzle) http://d3soccer.yuku.com/sreply/9651 Sat, 26 Nov 2005 16:36:03 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Is Coach ready for prime time? ]]> http://d3soccer.yuku.com/reply/9650/t/Is-Coach-ready-for-prime-time-.html#reply-9650 feeds@yuku.com (Go Falcons) http://d3soccer.yuku.com/sreply/9650 Mon, 21 Nov 2005 17:29:05 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Is Coach ready for prime time? ]]> http://d3soccer.yuku.com/reply/9649/t/Is-Coach-ready-for-prime-time-.html#reply-9649

One comment I had is about Manu G. Isn't he a fun player to watch? But the difference is that basketball players cannot play the full game. If Coach P could use Manu G the entire game, he would. He can't, so he puts him in where he thinks he will do the most good. Soccer is different. Players should be trained well enough to start and last the full 90. Lots of players never come out of a game and... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (observer) http://d3soccer.yuku.com/sreply/9647 Thu, 06 Oct 2005 07:55:24 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Is Coach ready for prime time? ]]> http://d3soccer.yuku.com/reply/9643/t/Is-Coach-ready-for-prime-time-.html#reply-9643
I wasn't going to respond to your post, but decided - what the heck. That is what these discussion boards are all about.

I may be right about the issue, or I may be "wrong on several levels" as you state. I happen to believe I am right.

But my description of an adult college soccer player in a discussion board as "weak" does not constitute "calling out" or "abuse" . If you find the word "weak"... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (observer) http://d3soccer.yuku.com/sreply/9643 Thu, 06 Oct 2005 07:12:47 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Is Coach ready for prime time? ]]> http://d3soccer.yuku.com/reply/9646/t/Is-Coach-ready-for-prime-time-.html#reply-9646

One has to question Scott Frey's ability to coach the game.


When you win 100 games and go to two Final Fours in your first 5+ years at a D3 program with a program that had never even seen the NCAAs, you can coach the game. When you go to a Final Four on the men's side with Alma, you can coach the game. This is ridiculous.

A coach who does not take advantage of a gale wind hurts his team, no matter what mental gymnastics he uses to justify his decision. You take the wind and bury your opponent under 3 or 4 wind-aided goals and then let your defense go to work in the second half. The fact of the matter is that the wind can change direction or completely die down in the second half. ALWAYS take the wind. NEVER give your opponenet an advantage. Coach should have... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (observer) http://d3soccer.yuku.com/sreply/9641 Wed, 05 Oct 2005 06:36:57 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Is Coach ready for prime time? ]]> http://d3soccer.yuku.com/reply/9640/t/Is-Coach-ready-for-prime-time-.html#reply-9640

See, in my mind, given the team Coach had in 2003, that's the call I make. Messiah was the same defensive stallworth that it has been for the last year, and was a very mediocre offensive team.

When it comes to line up decisions, I have to remind myself as a fan I don't have the full picture. I observe how the players perform on the field and make judgements on that basis. What I don't see is how players work and act off the field. I also am not privy to the coaches criteria for deciding playing time.

Let me start with the Regional semi in 2003. With a gale wind blowing down the field, Coach Frey makes a decision that even most youth coaches would find indefensable.

The thing that has kept the Falcons from winning championships, IMHO, is a lack of offensive punch against top-tier defenses. Their defense is as good as anyone in the country. I mean, look at it, in 2002, the team made it to the final, but they won two games in a row on penalty kicks after scoreless ties to do it.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (FalconAlum02) http://d3soccer.yuku.com/sreply/9637 Tue, 27 Sep 2005 20:51:32 GMT <![CDATA[ Is Coach ready for prime time? ]]> http://d3soccer.yuku.com/topic/874/t/Is-Coach-ready-for-prime-time-.html feeds@yuku.com (observer) http://d3soccer.yuku.com/topic/874 Tue, 27 Sep 2005 20:27:16 GMT
