[quote=Mrkeyjr][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no formal shot clock in college lacrosse,  what are you talking about?

The ref can issue a stall warning when he feels the offense is not trying to create enough offense or generate enough shots. When the official issues a shot clock, the team has then 30 seconds to generate a shot Obviously this is very subjective. There is no shot clock similar to what you see in the NBA or College Basketball.

I assume your son doesn't play in the IAC as the IAC plays college rules unlike several other private school leagues.

VA and MD publics still played little by FEDERATION rules.

Not sure who you are responding to, but I was arguing that there SHOULD be a 90 sec possession/shot clock to minimize the advantage a team gets with a dominant FOGO.   The girls have it, so should the boys.  [/quote]

The girls also don't wear helmets and can't check sticks.. The shot clock rule that college and iac use are perfectly fine and allow teams to play at a slower pace if they need to, as not every team has the horses to run the entire game.  [/quote]

NP jumping in.  Have you ever even SEEN a college women's lacrosse game?  They clearly check and there is no way that you can say that the pace is 'slower'.  They also play two 30-minute halves instead of easy, breezy quarters where players get a break every 15 minutes.  Those women can run circles around your ignorant butt.[/quote]

Ok well first i did not say the womans game is slower you misread what i was trying to say which was the current rules in place now allow mens teams to play at a slower pace if that is what would help them win games. Also lets be real checking in girls vs boys is not even close when it comes to physicality and where you are allowed to check. Finally, do girls wear pads and helmets?? Do these things have an effect on the boys during hot springs and summers on turf fields??? [/quote]

Do women's lax teams have rosters that go 50 deep? Do women's lax teams have specialists like LSMs and FOGOS who are on and off the field in 10 seconds flat more often than not? Do women's lax teams play on smaller fields than their male counterparts? I played men's collegiate lax and coached women's lax at all levels. The women's game is far more physically demanding. Sorry your precious boy gets a little more sweaty during his 90 second middie run. Most female lacrosse starters play 80% of the game or more (provided it isnt a blowout) with few chances to rotate out at the HS level. [/quote]
