What actually are the coached ranking? The teams with the best 1 or 2 boats or the whole program ? The #1 team may not with the championship but if the fleets were big enough, some school could send several boats to the championship.

The Rankings which matter the most are the ones which will be determined on the waters of Lake Mendota at Wisconsin from May 25 to June 3. Good luck to all sailing team members during your upcoming qualifiers and Championships.

College Sailing, while he does bring up a good point "Worst Rankings to come out", gotta be a little more productive than slamming other teams and districts. For those of you who are on the ICSA mailing list, Brad Churchill did a great job of giving criticism while also being productive about it. Only 8 coaches participated in the pole. 4 from NEISA, and 1 from MAISA, the two most dominant conferences. He stated if coaches "could not find the time" to send in their opinions, maybe we should go back to the original format with the panel.

I am against having the 3-man panel because of a number of different reasons, but I do think that 8 random teams giving an opinion doesn't really do the rankings justice. Given the responses of a few other coaches, I feel that Brad has sparked a point well made and in the future we will see more coaches participating. As always you have to take the rankings with a bit of a grain of salt, but lets hope that Brad's words have made people a bit more conscious of the desire to truly make this work. Otherwise, really why would we even have a ranking?

Worst rankings to come out. Eckerd? Washington college? Hawaii? The whole west coast college sailing is a joke. Even ODU does not belong that far up on the list. Blown away at Team Race qualifiers.
