I didn’t wish to go a lot additional with out mentioning final wee, okay’s resignation of Colgate ladies’s lacrosse coach Kathy Taylor.
Taylor was the coach at Colgate for 5 years. A devastating story final 12 months in USA Immediately mentioned that almost two dozen gamers had left her program. Among the departed alleged that Taylor bullied them. One, Catie Lang, was reported to have tried to take her personal life.
The environment across the staff translated into outcomes. This previous 12 months, the Purple Raiders went 3-14, solely a scant few years after the staff made the Patriot League postseason match.
This sort of efficiency from Colgate stood in distinction with the progress that different groups within the Empire State have been making. Despite the fact that Colgate is in the midst of the state, the college noticed Division I recruits go to the likes of Syracuse, Binghamton, Albany, Stony Brook, West Level, Wagner, Canisius, and Cornell.
Colgate, even underneath the very best of circumstances, was behind the proverbial 8-ball when it got here to making an attempt to draw expertise. However with a coach the topic of a 200-page unreleased investigative report, there was no approach for this system to enhance. It was a self-sustaining downward cycle. And Taylor, regardless of the standard corporate-speak discovered within the press launch asserting the resignation, was essentially the most accountable occasion.
I’m hoping that there shall be a extra optimistic outlook for this staff with a brand new teaching employees. It might probably’t damage.
