Utmost respect for Petro, certainly as a player - very good coach who will get better. With him, lax is a coach's game at JHU, which produces victories, but sometimes closer than they need to be (don't jump on this - ND played a great game). He dictates a very disciplined style, especially on D, which always keeps the game within reach, but also an approach that will keep an opponent in the game, especially if they can control face-offs (ergo, my vote for S. Peyser as an MVP for Hopkins this year). Also feel that working against such a D in practice may limit the effectiveness of the offensive talent - they have had the toughest times this year against aggressive defenses - e.g. UVA, and... ND (though I do think that the wet conditions were a bit of an equalizer last night). Coach will become great when he recognizes when to turn his players loose, which he has done on occassion this year - imho he will be the coach to combine the best elements of Tierney's D at Princeton and the run & gun finesse of Syracuse in its glory days. We. the judges, will just have to keep in mind the greater challenge of the sport's growth, with a greater talent base spreading to more schools. A good thing, if you love the sport.
