Coaching philosophy question. We scrimmaged against the best team in our league tonight. They were dirty. We play them Saturday. whats the best way to handle that as a coach? Do I voice concerns to ref? Do I tell the boys to return the favor? (They are way bigger than us, so I'm not sure that is an effective option? If I talk to Ref, do I do itout of the kids' earshot?Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

- inappropriate aggressive play?
- finessing the rules for a competitive advantage?
One is a safety issue, the other is an issue that should be addressed only when blatantly observed. No one is going to care about your scrimmage and I would not use that as a talking point in your protestation.
Also, SMR kind of hit at the idea that you want to emulate them to some degree. Why are they good? What techniques/tactics does your team need to employ to be more competitive with them? It's easy to just write them off as cheaters, but look beyond that and find ways to help your team to get better."Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."

They are very skilled, no doubt. I don't mind physicalbplay (it's a rough sport), but they body check and cross check my players backs which is against the rules at all levels of lacrosse, but is even worse when it's done at a level where physical contact is to be minimized for player safety.
The issue is compounded by the fact that a lot of the refs are brand new to the game or are high school kids that will call a high school level game.
I don't want to be "that guy" but I also don't want my players to get hurt because of the other team's carelessness.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

Well, they kicked our asses (12-0). We were down 3-0 in the first three minutes of the game (they won the first three faceoffs, and my defenders just sat and watched as they ran to the goal and scored).
But, the refs called every push in the back (~10 or so), they're just a way better team than we are.
My best player is a bit of a perfectionist. If he's not in first/winning, he mails it in. Kid is 8, so I don't want to scar him, but any tips on how to keep him motivated, even if we losing/getting our asses kicked?Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

I like SMR's idea of putting your best player on their best player. The only flaw is if your best player is a weak defender. In that case put your best defender on the guy.
