Bill Tierney, a Hall of Fame head coach whose decision to leave Princeton and reengage the sport’s westward evolution at Denver stunned the lacrosse world, has been named Lacrosse Magazine’s 2009 Person of the Year.
LM sent Matt DaSilva to Denver for an in-depth interview with Tierney, portions of which will be revealed here on laxmagazine.com in a five-part Q&A series. A full-length cover feature appears in the December issue of LM, which mails to US Lacrosse members this week.
In part four, Tierney addresses rumors about why he left Princeton and explains just how Denver was able to lure him from his lofty perch.
