SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The Utah lacrosse team wrapped up its inaugural season in 2018-19, and a few of the assistant coaches are off playing at the professional level during the Utes’ offseason.
Ute assistant coaches Adam Ghitelman, Marcus Holman and Will Manny are all playing with Archers LC of the Premier Lacrosse League, which is in its first season of operation this summer.
The league, which was founded by lacrosse legend Paul Rabil, is the marquee professional league and is doing its part to stand out with experimental rules and broadcasting techniques to carve out its space in the American sports scene.
