Dave Schmitz resigns as Whitman College Lacrosse Coach

It is with great sadness that I announce that Dave Schmitz - one of the founders of the PNCLL and a driving force in our league's growth and success over the past decade - has resigned as the head coach at Whitman College.

Many of you may not be aware, but Coach Schmitz suffered a heart attack a few weeks ago and has made the incredibly difficult decision to step down and focus on his health right now.

As most of you know, Dave is currently our league treasurer and will remain in that position with assistance from his office staff at Whitman College. As many of you know he has also operated as our league scheduler for the past two years. Those duties are being handled by myself, L.A.A. Keith MacFee and League Secretary Marilyn Hoskins.

Whitman College is actively seeking a head coach replacement for Coach Schmitz. If you are interested in the position or have leads on someone who might be interested, please contact Coach Schmitz via email at schmitdf@whitman.edu.

Dave, you will undoubtably be missed. . .get well soon.

Best wishes to Coach Schmitz with his recovery and to the entire Whitman program.
If anyone over there would like some help organizing practices or anything until you find a coach I'd be happy to help (just send an e-mail).

Has anyone heard anything about who will take over as Head Coach in Coach Schmitz's absence?

There has been no announcement of a new head coach at Whitman College. It is my understanding that the search for a new head coach continues. . .
