He is one of only two coaches to have guided three teams to the NCAA tournament, and he coached the 2002 U.S. Men's Team to the International Lacrosse Federation World Championship. He was elected into the US Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2005. Three times the USILA named him a divisional coach of the year and in 2003 that organization honored him with the Howdy Meyers Man of the Year Award.
