Dave Cottle is as big a part of the Baltimore lacrosse scene as anyone in the past 40 years, carving out a career as one of the top coaches in the history of the game.

Cottle, who starred at Salisbury in the late 1970s, has coached at the high school, college and professional levels over the course of a 42-year coaching career. He built Loyola men’s lacrosse into a perennial contender, helped the Maryland men’s lacrosse program continue its success and later led the Chesapeake Bayhawks to two Major League Lacrosse championships.

Now leading the lacrosse division of Legendary Sports Group, Cottle spoke with Paul Carcaterra on Season 4, Episode 13 of the “Overtime” podcast about his pro lacrosse career and why he’s enjoying his new endeavor.

The former Bayhawks president and coach also touched on the future of professional lacrosse with merger of the MLL and PLL, and what he thinks is the key to continuing to grow the sport of lacrosse at its biggest stage.
