Inside Lacrosse Founder, Bob Carpenter, speaks with Syracuse great, Pat McCabe, as a part of IL’s ongoing coverage of the 100th anniversary of Syracuse men’s lacrosse.

McCabe is widely regarded as one of history’s top 5 defensemen. Here he discusses the lacrosse culture at Syracuse during his era, watching the Gait brothers explode onto the scene, playing against fellow long-island defenseman Dave Pietramala and the brotherhood of the sport, the athleticism and psychological toughness of Gary and Paul, being a part of the ‘98 Team USA under Bill Tierney, and how the great coaches in his life have impacted his coaching style, today.
