This is utterly embarrassing watching John Hopkins making falling down, no look , with no speed on the ball, trickle pass Barrett that seems to have the vision and depth perception of a cross eyed kid.
He has stopped ONE from going in the net all game and every other one that was able to go in, went in, including the behind the back, no look, falling over players to bounce/dribble in right past Barrett.
Why was Marino benched on an off day last year, and Barrett gets this long leash game after game?
I have watched him these past two years and to be honest if this is the best Goalie UVA can put out there we are going to have a rough two more years. His hand/eye coordination has not gotten better since day one. I have coached baseball, softball and other sports that require hand and eye coordination, including unarmed self defense and it just seems the ball is by him before he reacts most of the time. He seems to not know where it is.
Some of the other boards have also been complaining why Starsia gives him such a long rope and lets the games get out of hand and still will not pull him.
I know I will catch some flack about this, but I'm an old salty retired military guy that is also a diehard UVA fan.
I just don't know why Marino is sitting the bench with this extremely off day. Should have been replaced after the second embarrassing falling down on the back, no look toss that went in with him sitting on his back side.
I want this team to return to the glory years of Lacrosse but this was one of the most humiliating losses I have seen over the last 20 at least. To lose to a team that barely got in and to have them score 99 percent of balls that could make it in the net and Barrett only stopped one from going in is epic failure both on the coaching staff and the goalie. I don't like to call out kids but this one can not go unchecked if this program ever wants to return to championship games in the next two years.
My younger brother, whom some of you may have met at football, basketball, baseball, lacrosse and soccer games just called me and he has season tickets for the big three and couldn't stand to watch another minute.
He brought up how he had the opportunity to meet Marino's parents and saw them buying UVA stuff the last time he saw them also wonders why Marino is still on the bench after the first 5 goals were scored and how easy they looked to get. This has to be one of the biggest embarrassing losses in the school history along side the Chaminade loss when Ralph was here. GO HOOS!
