🔼 The Next Act. Lars Tiffany had options after Kip Turner departed in late May. Tiffany, head men’s lacrosse coach at the University of Virginia, could have hired an assistant who, like Turner, specializes in working with goalkeepers. Or Tiffany could have chosen someone with more expertise at the offensive end of the field.
“There’s always a push-pull, right?” Tiffany said. “As you pull one way on one side of the bed, someone else’s feet now are uncovered on the other side of the bed. It was a debate in my head, and the debate was immediately ended when we had the opportunity to bring Connor Shellenberger here. And so then it was one of those occurrences where you’re like, ‘OK, obviously this is an easy decision. We’ll just to have to figure out the other side later.’ ”
