DENVER — Bill Tierney’s move from Princeton to the University of Denver sent shock waves through the college lacrosse community. Not only was the National Hall of Famer making an impact on a booming lacrosse community far from the sport’s East Coast-based epicenter, it also invoked a special father-son relationship.
Trevor Tierney, the oldest of Bill and Helen Tierney’s four children, will serve as an assistant coach to his father.
“I’m so excited,” Trevor said. “It is going to be a lot of fun. I haven’t seen my dad this excited in a long time. He is so fired up. His overall energy level has completely changed.”
Trevor was along for the ride shortly after Bill rose from high school coaching positions at Great Neck South and Levittown on Long Island, to the head job at Rochester Institute of Technology, then an assistant position at Johns Hopkins and the head job at Princeton.
