In response to palestra38
In regard to the Tierney comments, his first year at Princeton was also my freshman year there, and I knew more than one classmate who quit the team "because the coach was a [insert expletive here]. Andy Moe was one of the freshmen who did stick it out; he took a year off during college (as did I) and then, during our senior year at Franklin Field, he scored the overtime goal that beat Syracuse to win the national championship, completing a stunning five-year turnaround from that initial 2-13 season.
The difference, of course, is that the only person who had high expectations when Tierney arrived was Tierney himself. Still, I see many parallels between Scott and Tierney (and Carril), and I personally don't have ANY problem with that style of coaching. I said it during the Carril years, and I'll say it here now: there are more than 300 other Division I schools you can play at if all you want is to play for a guy who'll pat you on the back and tell you how great you are.
