Cornell lacrosse 2017

[billhoward]

The Ivies have no cap on what they can pay the coaches. They could, with endowed chairs of coaching, match most of the highest paying schools in hockey-lax-wrestling. Or we identify the climbers who'll give Cornell 5-10 years on the way up.

Correct.  Harvard pays their basketball coach Tommy Amaker $700,000.

Nice list except it appears to date in original form to pre-2013 with an update in 2015 (current date is March 2015). Reader comments noted that Rick Majerus was doing well considering he made the list yet died in December 2012. He isn't mentioned now. Roy Williams is a steal at UNC at $1.71M if that's anywhere near current.

The point is that Ivy League schools can pay their coaches very competitive salaries in some sports if they so desire.

is harvard paying for the coach or is it endowed  in some way?

Probably a combination, the position is endowed.

Tierney was at Princeton for 22 seasons and was already a Hall of Famer when he left. Hardly a "stepping stone" stay.

True enough. But Princeton just got incredibly lucky with Tierney. No one had any idea that he was going to be the greatest lax coach of all time when PU hired him.

Whatever magic/luck Princeton had back then is gone. The guy they picked to replace Tierney is now coaching high school. Which shows how hard it is to pick good coaches, especially (I would say) in the more obscure sports like lax.

Here's one we don't have:

Skiing, Alpine & Nordic (Men's & Women's) – The Paul J. Finnegan Family Head Coach for Harvard Skiing

And where do they practice and compete?

[billhoward]

Princeton is still #12 in this year's poll, which we are not, even after losing their old coach, Chris Bates, in early April 2016 after running on field and bumping/pushing a Brown player. And it's Princeton right now with the arguably best freshman in the country in Michael Sowers, 42 points in 8 games. (He was No. 10 on the Inside Lacrosse Top 100 where Jeff Teat was No. 1.)

Hey, there's always Dartmouth!!

::help::

[Ken711]

It used to be the football was terrible, but you could always look to hockey, and then that nice stretch with basketball, and if all else failed, you could always look to Spring and lacrosse.  Ahhh the good ole days.  ::worry::

[upprdeck]

1st period 4-0 cornell..  outshot Dart.  18-0  

I dont think i have ever seen that, still the key to this team is 18 shots only on net.

how would people feel had CU not blown the late leads against UV and Penn, and were playing today to go to 4-4 and 2-1 in the ivy, it would seem to be trending up even if its a slow trend

[upprdeck]

solid win never in doubt.

if yale were to win today and brown loses every team would have a loss and cornell 1-2 would not be out of the realm to make the Ivy tourney..

I think they have Harvard next week which is probably the make or break part of the season 2-2 keeps the hope alive, 1-3 probably does them in.

[CU77]

They will need to beat Harvard and Brown on the road to have a shot at the ILT (or lose one of those and beat Princeton at home). So far, they have not shown the resillience under pressure needed to win close games, but hope springs eternal.

[billhoward]

Cornell looking decent at Harvard. Down 5-2, runs off 3 straight for a 5-5 tie at the half. We are getting clobbered on faceoffs against a Harvard team that went something like 6x32 vs. Albany.

Harvard announcers do a very nice job talking about Cornell players and not just Jeff Teat. We could do with a little less on the Harvard players who bailed on Cornell when Ben DeLuca was exiled, especially Joe Lang who had a good first half vs. Cornell [edit add:] and wound up with his third hat trick vs. Cornell in his career.

Second half: Cornell rolls off 5 straight, goes up 12-7 with 2 minutes to play, gives up a couple very late goals.

Good defensive effort by Cornell. Knight solid in goal. Harvard was sloppy on clears, Cornell had a number of takeaways.

Cornell is now 2-2 in the Ivies with Brown (hopefully a win) and Princeton (tough to win) left.

big win by cornell

down 5-2 and then runs it out 10-2 to go up 12-7 late

late game issues with the penalties let harvard score at the end

would love that penn game finish back now

Much improved, especially on the defensive end. You're right that Penn game may really come back to bite us for the Ivy tournament. But we still have a reasonable chance, which did not look likely a few weeks ago.
