Coach Pietramala was a hell of a defenseman in his day and that fire he had still lives in him and his teams. Great comment on how the game has changed including recruiting. Best of all, lacrosse is about the relationships that one encounters through the journey. Anyone that gets to know him will find a genuine, honest broker that cares about winning and the spirit of good sportsmanship. Great guy and any program will be lucky to have him. Best of success Coach P!
What a class act. Remember watching him play against 'cuse in '89 championship game. Still one of the most exciting games Ive ever seen. Always rooted for him as a Coach of the Jays. He is the embodiment of all the good things our sport has to offer. I can't wait to see where he lands. I'll be an instant fan.
I'd love to see him start the Men's program at Northwestern. Similar academic standards, amazing new indoor facility, TV Contract and 1 revenge game every year!
All the best to you Coach whatever you do! I think it was incredible to have JHU lax added to the Big 10 and seeing you and Coach Tambroni compete as friends and competitors. You will be missed !!

Cool idea, agreed he will latch on somewhere and make the j birds sorry.
James Rice wow... Interesting thought.

Thank you for sharing this with us!
Great interview Tom with a great man, father, coach,player, mentor and friend!
Always admired his passion, integrity, and his abilities as a coach and gentleman.
Class act!!
And who the heck replaces Pietramala at JHU? Not envious. Dave is a real legend. Anyone would be lucky to have him.
.690 win record with the type of schedule Hopkins contends with is impressive!
This would have happened last year if they didn’t finish so strong. I think this is best for both parties.
