why would the "coach", term used very lightly, schedule that. The lose to UCSB is greater than the win vs Westcliff. Program has been irrelevant for years. to be expected

so in 1990, you could put together a team like that..... great team...so in 2022 the teams need 9+ foreigns to win? Not just Cal, yes, i am opening that can of worms. The cal team that was mentioned with 4 americans and 1 international would win. great team. can't that be repeated? ucla, only 2 inte...

Not sure what you mean by who "the opponent was". Sometimes "those opponents" have to battle the opposing team as well as the ref's. Please, look at the facts and not assume. at 14 u, just play the game and teach the game. The coaches must teach and the roll of the ref. at that a...

One of the most important and valuable components for a successful Head Coach, among many things, is to have good help. Coach Wright has the best assistant coach in the country

now the total is 43

they are on the roster,, taking the place of USA kids

how ever you want to justify it,,,,,,,,

limit each participating program to 3 international players and we have 21, that would be 21 more roster spots for American kids..... That might help the sport grow and maybe improve the talent...... and let the American coaches, coach. Then maybe we won't have a foreign coach being escorted off a p...

The topic of discussion was foreign athletes on rosters. The teams still playing and number of foreign athletes;
USC----- 7
UCLA----3
Cal------8
Davis------ 3
LBST----- 7
Princeton-----6
Fordham -----8
total= 42

It is getting to be a joke and in my opinion hurting water polo. All these 4 year schools and Community College ( West Valley in the state finals, 1 American to start), why so many foreign players. Anything to win? coach the kids and put the time in to develop the talent. he opportunity to play for ...

They could limit the number of foreign players to lets say 3 per team,,,,European leagues limit the number of foreign athletes on their teams. That is about the only limitation that would work to reduce roster sizes. If the athlete wants to go to the "said" school, he sure knows what he is...

It is time for a few coaching changes. I have been hearing the same stories for too many years. If this was college football there would be 4-6 coaching vacancies. I know its not football, but you get my drift . Coaching is more than X'S and O'S,,,,,, it takes a "coach" to get the TEAM to ...

Good call just a fan......state schools and UC's with large numbers of forgein players,,,,,,, there are a few JC's with a large number as well, in fact one JC has more than 10-----------just win baby--------really teaching our kids something there---------I agree; coach em up and teach

Start a different thread for that topic,,,,,,, lets get back to the games,,,,,, Princeton dominating Pepperdine,,, out coached and not prepared by the waves. Good win for the East coast

Wow; great stats, very nice....... then you look at that and say, a team with all that should be in the top 4 or better. the main stat is 7th......not to many defensive tactics being talked about in the team meetings or being held accountable. hmmmmmm, coaching maybe. I agree good experience for the...
