Princeton announced yesterday that Chris Bates will become head coach of its men's lacrosse program and replace Hall of Fame coach Bill Tierney who surprised the lacrosse world by accepting a job as head coach at Denver earlier this month.
Bates, a Dartmouth graduate*, coached against Tierney during his 10 year position as head coach at Drexel.
Check out the interview I had with Coach Tierney about his decision to head to Denver and what it meant for the national growth of lacrosse.
