Reese has an assistant coaching job lined up for the spring, while Fulks, along with former Terp football captain Kevin Plank, have their own athletic apparel company, Under Armour, for which he is marketing manager. Even Thunder head coach John Tucker has another job as the dean of students at Boys Latin School. For many players who come right out of college, adjusting to box lacrosse takes some time. You have to unlearn some stuff and relearn other things. For Reese, a defender, the biggest adjustment is getting used to playing with a short pole, since he is accustomed to playing with a long stick.
Indoor lacrosse resembles a hybrid of other sports.
With a shot clock and fewer players six, including a goalie on the floor at once, the game resembles basketball. The game is noticeably rougher and has smaller goals, making it characteristic of hockey. You've got the hockey boards, so it's a faster game because the ball hardly leaves the playing area. Most rookies agree that the transition is made easier by the veteran players and the coaching staff, especially those that already know some of the players. Surprisingly, the guys on the team hang out, especially after practice.
