Shaun Cryer?

[Guest]

Show me the violation. He is absolutely allowed by ncaa rules to do what he is doing. If you think for a second that he hasn’t gone over the rules with Rutgers athletic department & lawyers then you are a fool.

Pay the doubters no mind they are just jealous of PDA and Rutgers success. If the shoe was on the other foot they would be beaming with pride. Go RU and Go Blue!

NCAA has been notified, several times through the years. They don't care about minor infringements in women's sports. If this was football or basketball this would be national news.

Wrong. I have personally read the NCAA rules. He is absolutely allowed to coach a club team as long as all his plywood are within the 50 mile radius. End of story. Lnock it off with the rhetoric already.

What success? beating teams ranked way below you is success? I guess that is a PDA mindset. Would be nice to see RU challenge themselves by playing the elite of women's college soccer programs instead of finding ways to avoid them until its a one off game come tournament time.

Jealous of 1 good PDA Blue girls team out of what 1,000 teams boys and girls? Jealous of Solar -- yes that makes sense. I would brag when PDA does this: 1) Wins a game for PDA South 2) Get into playoffs in at least 2-3 ages for PDA White 3) Wins a championship at multiple ages for BLUE at least more than 1x in 7 years --then yes. Until then you are just a club that has 1 good team IN LEAGUE only, because it stacked in their favor - they play 8 games and 1/2 are against White and South. When they hit the national tournaments we all know the scores - you can hide all you want but those are the facts. Just pull up the showcase from last December. Don't reply with "haters gonna hate" or "what club do you play for". Just stating the facts and replying to a person calling people jealous of PDA and RU.

I completely agree. It doesn't benefit the top PDA Blue players at all. Hence the reason the smart ones train and play elsewhere. Winning against teams ranked below does nothing to help the players - but it helps the club. A truly good player is only satisfied with a tough match and a challenge.

I guess Final 4s are not challenging themselves? Go RU!

Yea get back to the point of SC being a good or bad guy or coach.

[Guest]

And where are the players now? How has the "style" helped them?

Former SC Parent here. Many of his girls have gone on to top teams and many playing in college. He was unparalleled tough but he gave all and expected the same
of his players. My daughter learned the most from him for the 3 years she was with him and it continues to benefit her. He had a good gig at Stallions and they tolerated his shortcomings. He hasn’t lasted anywhere else that long. Hope now that he has kids of his own he has mellowed Karma would be for him the have a daughter. If he lasts, Bethesda will be the beneficiary to NJ’s loss.

You do know when this person says “us” they are PDA haters. Haters are just going to hate and this person has a bad day when RU wins.

Bad day today I presume?

Yes, he’s so tough on his players he even marries some of them!

Some people really like him. He made me hate soccer (and myself) for a few years. The culture in his teams is generally pretty poor too. Promotes a lot of competition off the field leading to poor team dynamics.

I thought SC was a good coach who with his personal shortcomings was all about training the players. He made it clear to the parents he would not tolerate their nonsense. He was all about tactics and teaching players to become better players. He is all about skill development. His biggest thing is effort as long as he sees the effort and desire is there then he had no issue with the player. Lack of hustle or mental mistakes were not tolerated and that got him crazy. All that being said SC had lightening in a bottle with that one team he still talks about today because it was prior to ECNL. The vast majority of those players would have immediately jumped there if that league was around.
