Walsh is very good at working on set plays and at developing
goalies, but is considered quite average at developing talent
at any other position.
 
 
Remember, Walsh won the title with Karyia, Montgomery, the Ferraro's,
Garth Snow, Mike Dunham, Chris Imes, and others.  Only Snow was not
a "highly-touted draft pick."  Heck, Kariya (sp) and the Ferraro's
were the three most highly-recruited players available that year!
 
 
Both coaches have had years where teams have underachieved and
years where teams have overachieved, but Parker's more flexible
style and focus on skill-development have made him more sought-
after by the pro's.
 
Remember, Walsh was out of work for a year and not even an AHL
team came knocking.
 
 
If I had a son that was a goalie, I would send him to either
Wisconsin or Maine, but if he was a forward, especially a
power-forward, I would send him to BU.
