With reference to comparing ODP programs across states, I can only refer to our region for the previous 3 years, ending in 2010, in a specific age group. From what I could see, our teams were more than competitive with Oklahoma, Mississippi and (this past year anyway) Texas. We were reasonably competitive with North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. We were less than competitive with Florida and Georgia. In my estimation, we were not particularly well-coached/trained in 2009, and poorly coached in 2010. Then again, Oklahoma's team was dismal, and the Texas teams were surprisingly bad (supposedly attributable to Academy defections). From a purely neighborly perspective, in 3 actual matches vs. NC, we were 1-1-1. Our head coach was not at NEITHER the win nor the loss.
