Through good times and bad, Virginia lacrosse head coach Dom Starsia was nothing short of a class act.
In the sport of lacrosse, few men can be described as legends.
With a Division I-record 375 wins, 13 Final Fours, six national title game appearances, and four championships in the greatest era of parity that the sport has seen, Dom Starsia could be the greatest coach in the history of the game. His 24th season at the University of Virginia was his last, the school announced late Monday afternoon.
After a couple weeks of twisting in the wind, UVa fans, as well as the now-former head coach are forced to pick up the pieces from an ugly sequence that featured reports of his ouster, then of a contract extension, then finally, officially, of his departure from the school.
