[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was standing by the fence. 43 for Indy had a terrible cheap shot under 10 seconds. Cross check to the head when the player wasn’t looking and didn’t have the ball.  Then he was laughing about it in the box when they were sorting out either an ejection or 2 min non releasable.  The laughing and cuss word I heard then angered the Riverside coach. Which then prompted a meeting with both coaches and Indy and Riverside ADs.  Not sure what was said. I saw the hit on NFHS stream and if that’s not an ejectable hit then I am not sure what is. Completely uncalled for and unsafe.  Kind of ruined the end of the game and just left a sour taste throughout the stadium.  Unfortunate situation. [/quote]

I just watched it.  It is pretty bad.  Not surprising though.  Team has no discipline.[/quote]

Kid didn’t even have the ball. It was behind the play and to the head.  That’s why I think it should have been ejectable it had nothing to do with the game. Does anyone know if that kid is ok? He tried to get up and then fell back down. [/quote]

Went and watched this from the NFHS feed and you are overstating it a bit. [u]Now I did not see it in person[/u], BUT what I see is white (#1 or #7?) has the ball and just passed to another player to his left. #43 in Red comes from about 4 yards and hits him. It looks like he leads with the shoulder and hits the white shoulder high and his stick contacts the white players head. No audio of players so I cant comment on that.

Late hit/unsportsmanlike/ illegal body check- Yes 
Blindside/defenseless player- No, player just made a pass and was hit from the front
Targeting- maybe but didn't seemed to be called so I defer to the crew that was there, judgement call inside of 5 yards. 
Unintentional Cross to Head- Yes, 1 min non releasable. Now mandatory in this situation
Intentional Cross to Head (2minNR)- No, I see shoulder contact and stick slide up.
Curse word and or mouthing off- No audio so can't comment, but I did not see the crew throw another flag after the fact. If they [b]hear[/b] it that would have been the case.

Final call in my book- Mandatory 1 min NR for body/cross contact to head neck. Possible 1 min for late hit, judgement call. Typically not going to stack these unless the teams were already warned and crew was trying to make a point. 
I have seen much worse, this was not that late/defenseless and off ball as first presented above and how I read it. I don't see the need for an ejection or suspension.
However, definitely illegal and should not be part of the game.

New poster but enjoying my pop corn.  While I agree illegal hits should not be a part of the game they are a part of the game and when they happen, they do get called.  Parents here are really over reacting.  The officials do a decent job of calling the game and really over call it in my opinion.  Especially compared to when I played lacrosse.  (I know I sound like THAT person)  Kids play in showcases and practices all the time and these type of hits happen and they move on.  The most serious injuries have occurred from players taking shots to the chest and head.  Also broken legs from just playing the game.  I think this team and coach must have annoyed a few parents on here but I feel confident the officials can control the game.  They are far more intelligent and rational than the Loudoun County School board as others have suggested reaching out to.  I would hate to think what would happen if that group got involved.

The point is, the same types of plays and events keep happening with the Indy team. SO, No Sir, you are wrong. The officials obviously don't have it under control, or it WOULDNT KEEP HAPPENING! Its almost every single game. That is why escalation of consequence is required. Otherwise this team continues to say "oh hahaha, its just a 2 min penalty with 8 seconds left" "totally worth it!"... As they were actually laughing as the player was coming off the field.

Grow up, and use some common sense. This is not club ball at some random field in some random place. This is not a 1 time isolated thing. [/quote]
