    Jamie Munro: Constraints-Led Coaching & The Importance of Pickup Sports

    Deemer Class and Matt Dunn host Jamie Munro, former Brown player, longtime college coach (including Yale as an assistant and Denver’s first Division I head coach), founder of 3d Lacrosse, and current head of JM3 Lacrosse. Munro recounts discovering lacrosse as a child, favoring soccer and pickup sports before choosing lacrosse late in high school, and stumbling into coaching through Australia, Colorado, and then Yale. He discusses Dom Starsia’s player-development emphasis and freer play models, plus the influence of Dave Huntley and box lacrosse on his box-field hybrid philosophy. Munro defines the constraints-led approach (ecological dynamics) as intentional, variable, game-context training that develops lacrosse IQ through reading “what are we doing, what are they doing,” using constraints, accountability scoring, and co-design, while balancing limited practice time and isolated skill work.

    Scott Stuber: Hollywood Producing Meets Athletic Scouting and Locker Room Mentorship

    Deemer Class and Matt Dunn interview film producer and former chairman of Netflix Films Scott Stuber, discussing his career from Bluegrass Films to leading Netflix’s award-nominated film slate (2017–2024) and his 2024 move to Amazon MGM Studios to relaunch United Artists. Stuber shares how lacrosse entered his family when his wife steered their son from tackle football, and describes his relationship with Class as a mentor to his son. He recounts starstruck moments with Denzel Washington and Martin Scorsese, explains producing as a GM-like role blending creative taste with business realities, and emphasizes authenticity over purely commercial thinking. Stuber details breaking into Hollywood through persistence, highlights the value of mentors, communication, and individualized leadership, and reflects on modern youth-sports pressures, travel-team economics, early recruiting, and helping kids develop grit while navigating social media and over-parenting.

    Pat Carney and Dan Krikorian: Offense Wins Possessions. Principles Win Seasons

    First Class Lacrosse hosts Deemer Class and Matt Dunn welcome Pat Carney and Dan Krikorian of Slapping Glass to discuss how their basketball podcast and coaching resource began during COVID after a long friendship, driven by curiosity and self-improvement. Carney and Krikorian describe their coaching paths, their willingness to experiment and learn from “micro-failures,” and how they iterate on podcasts, newsletters, and film content without getting too narrow too soon. The conversation shifts to coaching principles: building culture and selflessness, teaching spacing, advantage creation, adaptability, and shared cognition, and using a “slice of the pie” approach to blend on-air reps with constraints-led methods depending on context and time. They cover attacking zone defenses, shot selection hierarchies and role-based green lights, and modern screening concepts (ghost screens, angles) plus defensive approaches. They close with how they balance content creation with coaching and family, emphasizing routines, saying no, quality, and being active coaches to stay relevant.

Kasemeyer describes joining Calvert Hall in 1997, launching Got Skillz Lacrosse around 2002 with help from Sean Burke, and developing a teaching style rooted in work ethic, competitiveness, resilience, and helping players reach their potential. He explains how playing with Mount Washington’s star-studded club team (including the Gait brothers and others) shaped his standards, and highlights training elite shooters like Ryan Brown, whom he calls the best lacrosse ball shooter ever. He credits Dave Huntley’s influence on principles, teammate culture, and “honest” fundamentals like shot selection and getting to high-value scoring areas, emphasizing open-mindedness, individualized coaching, analogies, and protecting reputation and relationships.

    Rankings Deep Dive, Event Scheduling & Being Recruitable + Why Youth Sports Matters

    Checkout The FCL Coaches Community: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1stclasslax.com/community Deemer Class and Matt Dunn run a parent-style Q&A on the lacrosse landscape, focusing on rankings, recruiting events, and youth-sports value. They explain why rankings exist, how they can spark coach interest but rarely drive final recruiting decisions, and why late bloomers and less “flashy” positions are often undervalued; they urge families to prioritize controllables, long-term development, and goals over emotional fixation on lists. The episode then breaks down tournaments, showcases, high school team events, and college prospect days, including NCAA rules and how athletes should build summer schedules around generating “evidence” against quality competition. They also discuss rising costs and the “money grab” critique, arguing value varies by operator and sports provide rare real-world friction and accountability. Finally, they challenge messaging that sports are mainly for future careers, emphasizing fun, commitment, and emptying the tank.

    Jim Mitchell: The Principles Behind Princeton's Success & The Art Of Playing In The Grey

    Checkout The FCL Coaches Community: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1stclasslax.com/community First Class Lacrosse hosts Deemer Class and Matt Dunn interview Princeton offensive coordinator Jim Mitchell about his coaching path, influences, and offensive philosophy. Mitchell describes entering coaching via a grad assistant role, how a psychology background shaped his curiosity and player-specific communication, and how he learns through conversations, books, and podcasts while balancing innovation with refining core habits. He explains Princeton’s principles-based approach—emphasizing obtainable behaviors like connectivity, deception, possession, and decision-making—supported by daily film sessions and practice design that uses constraints to create game-representative reps. Mitchell outlines how he game-plans by “bucketing” defenses and stresses high-value film focuses for players: perimeter effort and stickwork, handling pressure, and off-ball play. He discusses how defensive-coordinator experience informs accountability, highlights deception and consistency as separators for great players, and offers coaching advice centered on hard work, mindful influence, and excelling in one’s current role.

    Inside the World of Women's Lacrosse Officiating with Sheehan Stanwick Burch & Francie Box

    Checkout The FCL Coaches Community: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1stclasslax.com/community On the First Class Lacrosse podcast, hosts Deemer Class and Matt Dunn welcome women’s lacrosse analyst Sheehan Stanwick Burch and longtime NCAA official Francie Box to discuss their lacrosse journeys and major 2026 college rules emphases. Box highlights increased enforcement against physicality via expanded one-minute releasable green cards, nonreleasable yellow cards for dangerous contact to the head/neck and upper back, stricter timing to speed restarts toward a two-hour broadcast window, wider access to video review, and required official headsets. Stanwick Burch and Box address confusion and inconsistency around “illegal use of the stick,” shaft/hand checks, and how green cards affect game flow versus yellow cards. They also explain key women’s rules versus men’s, including three-seconds, shooting space, charge/block standards, held whistles/flags, and advantage/non-engagement, and suggest possible refinements such as false-start penalties on 8-meter free positions and narrowing green-card scope.
