Mike Hasen might be the most underrated coach in lacrosse.

Over 200 games coached in the NLL. 5th all time.

100 wins in the NLL. 6th all time.

3 NLL titles.

He’s led hall of fame laden dynasties, coached up MVPs and helped build an expansion team and took them to the playoffs in year 3.

Not usually mentioned along with the all time greats but why not?

It might be the fact he’s a calm humble guy that doesn’t get too high or too low, and lets his records and teams speak for themselves. The ultimate player’s coach.

But the wheels of preparation, passion and knowledge are spinning.

He’s the only coach in the history of the league to have coached a team to a 3 peat!

Back to back to back championships!

Mike Hasen is the head coach of the Rochester Knighthawks of the National Lacrosse League; a title he’s held since 2011 when he was awarded the NLL’s Les Bartley award for coach of the year - in his rookie season.

Hasen led the Knighthawks to 3 consecutive NLL titles from 2012 to 2014.

Still the only 3 peat in league history.

Captain of the Knighthawks during his playing days, Hasen won a title as a player in 2007. And all together played 13 seasons in the NLL with Rochester and Buffalo.

Hasen has won multiple Mann Cups as a player and coach during the summer in Canada.  

On this podcast we break down the challenges of the 3 peat season by season, TRY to hear about his best attributes as a coach and learn about how he leads from within the trenches.
