Many of the kids in my class, and in the class above me quit and transferred out. That should tell you all you need to know... Quiz this buffoon on his current roster and he will only know 15 names tops. And the teams average GPA while I was there was under 3.0 — let that sink in. Go elsewhere In the ACC or Ivy League if you can pull the offer

Coach Desko mostly works with the offense and has very little involvement with the defense. Furthermore, practices aren't even run by Coach Desko at all - they are moreso handled by assistant coaches Kevin Donahue and Lelan Rogers. Coach Rogers is the head defensive coach while Donahue is the head offensive and face-off coach. Roy Simmons is the nicest guy you'll ever meet, and Steve Scaramuzzino is a volunteer but also extremely kind. Coach Scarmo (as we call him) works primarily with the offense as well. The fitness trainers are amazing and ultimately it is a terrific program to play for. Coach Desko however does run the sidelines during games and can get pretty angry during practices.
