I actually helped coach lacrosse in the bay area with a Gilman alum and very good friend named Matty Wise. I also worked at camps in Northern California with Lorne Smith and Scott Banerjee (both Gilman guys) whom I have been friends with since HS. Don't get me wrong, there were plenty of Gilman guys whom I didn't see eye to eye with, but I also had more than my share of friends, like Jamal Cox (Gilman/Ga Tech) , Travis Blackston (Dunbar), Billy Evans (Loyola/ Hopkins lax) whom I played football with at Overlea rec since I was 8 years old. Don't get me wrong, I was a fire cracker and there were plenty of Loyola, Gilman, ect guys I didn't get along with as well, including one person from GA's class who is currently on Gilman's staff. LOL. I had plenty of friends at City, but no adversaries. In my 4 years, we never had any kind of issues with City on the field in terms of conduct or dirty play or fighting. Gilman and Loyola, ehhh, not so much. LOL. I actually got along with most Poly guys too.

Scott Banerjee! Damn that's a name from the past. Great guy, haven't seen him in over a decade! Lorne is another good guy. Jamal still one of my best friends. The Gilman coach your talking about we all know. Don't really talk to him much anymore but was a very good friend at one time, still have nothing but love for him. He knows his stuff though and was one of the best athletes to walk the halls of Gilman. At one time I thought he would have been next in line to be head coach at Gilman.
