John Paul, who oversaw Michigan's men's lacrosse team's transition from club to varsity, has a relevant point of view for a lot of reasons these days. First, he has a unique perspective on the formation of lacrosse at SMU and what coach Jim Mitchell is facing at the moment. He catches up with IL's Terry Foy about the ways in which his team's process converged and diverged with the Mustangs', what to expect and what comes next.
Also, he coach newly elected Michigan senator Abdul El-Sayed and, having stayed close with the former longstick middie over the intervening years, shares his perspective on the former Wolverine's rise to the upper chamber of the U.S. Congress.
