| Former Duke University lacrosse coach Mike Pressler will discuss his new book, "It's Not About the Truth," and the relationship between an academic administration and its student athletes at Amherst College's Johnson Chapel at 7 p.m. on Nov. 13. His lecture, also titled "It's Not About the Truth," is free and open to the public. Pressler is currently entering his second year as head coach of the Bryant University men's lacrosse team. Before starting at Bryant, he served as head coach of the Duke University men's lacrosse team for 16 seasons, until he resigned amid a scandal that made national headlines. At Duke, he compiled a 153-82 overall record and led the Blue Devils to three Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) championships, 10 NCAA tournament berths and an appearance in the 2005 Division I men's lacrosse championship game. Prior to that, he held coaching positions at Ohio Wesleyan University, West Point and Virginia Military Institute. A three-time ACC Coach of the Year and recipient of the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association's F. Morris Touchstone Award as the National Coach of the Year in 2005, Pressler's overall head coaching record stands at 299-102 in 22 seasons. He ranks among the nation's top 10 active coaches in both career victories and overall winning percentage. The lecture is sponsored by Amherst College Athletics. |
