Marist Head Coach in name only

[Guest]

The school AD should “shut down” any parents who get involved with this team or the coach. This is college D1 Soccer not club soccer. These young ladies are old enough to deal directly with the coaching staff with any complaints/concerns they may have. Normally, when the season ends the coaches have individual meetings with each player. Any issues should be brought up at that time. If they cannot be solved to a players satisfaction then there is the transfer portal. The AD picked this coach and the coach may have inherited most of these players but it’s her team. That’s the resolution for any problems that a parent/player might have.

The 50 miles within the club rule is real. Other coaches have stepped away from club for this reason. NCAA not a parent issue.

Parents don’t make NCAA rules

The poster wasn't arguing that, I don't think anyone was. The point is that either the husband is an issue in terms of team management or he isn't. If multiple players are complaining then there's possibly a problem but they need to be the ones complaining, not the parents. I say possibly because entitle parents raise entitled kids. His involvement should be pretty easy to determine if the AD wants to investigate it.

Every coach has issues with a few kids and it's always over playing time. This coach in question better not coach club high school aged players that outside of 50 miles of Marist or he and his wife will be looking for new jobs shortly. Not a good look when the head coach allows "volunteer" asst do everything and that asst is her husband

It’s not coaches that have issues regarding playing time. It seems that it’s parents who take issue with the coach. This is not club soccer it’s your daughter who needs to meet with the coach and find out why they are not getting minutes and what they need to work on this Spring. If you went to Marist because it was your only choice and not because of your education then you have a much bigger problem.

It's not a problem if you

1) do as you prescribe: talk to the coach and work harder to earn more PT. It might be a hopeless cause but at least you'll know you did everything you could

2) accept it for what it is and either be ok being a practice cone or quit or transfer


The players have choices. This is why seemingly tired line "love the school in the absence of soccer" always applies. Things happen. You may not get any PT and quit (or be strongly encouraged to quit) or a new coach comes in and brings in all his own recruits, or you get burned out, or suffer a career ending injury.

Having 35 on a roster will always create complaints, even more so with entitled soccer parents.

and what's with all the blondes? Only 5% of US adults are naturally blonde

Looks like 26 of the 35 have had any PT, plenty with only token minutes. 14 players have well over 500min, 7 over 1000. Those are the starters and first subs. It's pretty typical of many college programs. If you're not going to be in the top 14-15 on any roster, yeah you better love the school or look to other programs where you will play more.

We all know the complainers. Obvious to all

Not really when several had none and nine have under 100 minutes. Seventeen of the 35 are the ones with the vast majority of PT. Plus complaining about PT may or may not be correlated with complaints about the husband coach.

Looking at the stats that seems to be happening. Plus you can't only sub in 2-3 players. Most programs focus on the top 16-18 with the rest maybe getting a few minutes in easier games. If you've only had 35 minutes all year, especially if you're not a freshman, then your role on the team is clear. That is, you don't have much of one and may not last past sophomore year.

Or is your kid not playing and you think they should be in the holy 13? That would explain a lot.

Scholarship money has a big say about your playing time. Those players on scholarship will be given maximum opportunity to play to give the program a return on their investment. If two players are equal then the scholarship athlete will have the advantage to play. That’s the economics of college athletes. “Walk ons” are mostly those players who were given a preference for admittance to the college, that’s it. They mostly have to earn their place on the team and become a player who dresses for games and gets to travel with the team for away games. That’s why there is turnover by sophomore year for those payers in that situation. This is not club soccer it college soccer.

Kind of. Some players get far more money than they should and vice versa. Not all players pan out for coaches and some players exceed expectations. It's not an exact science. Some may have had injury issues during prime recruiting time. Coaches can give high performers more money if they want to.

It seems like they lost a few first year players. Can anyone verify that? The roster shows a few players that are not listed on the stats page.
