I'm okay with this. "Make-it, take-it" lacrosse sucks IMO.

I suppose the team getting ball 70%+ of the time is technically "better" but it doesn't feel that way. [/quote]

Ditto[/quote]

What's the alternative? 
Take it out of the goal and go like box
Clear behind the net in the goalie's stick
Clear at mid field
1 FO per quarter or start or half
No FO at all

Under the current rules, it's really odd any public or private wouldn't invest in this position. Host clinics, have fo drills for the entire team, anything to find a player(s) who can increase the odds. [/quote]

Yes - FO at the start of each quarter, and then clear behind the net in the goalie’s stick after a goal.

Put more emphasis on the ride versus the FO.

which was tried in the late 70s or early 80s for a year in college and deemed ineffective. It basically prevents a team from coming back.[/quote]

Total game scores in the 70s and 80s were rarely over 20 and usually under 15. FO didn’t matter as much then. It was a much more defensive game with the stick technology of the time.

And while it’s fair to argue that not having a FO after goals prevents teams from mounting miraculous comebacks, it would also prevent a whole lot more teams from getting blown out or needing a miraculous comeback.

I get the pushback and don’t ever expect it to happen, but at least think that rec and club level lacrosse below 6th grade should try to mimimize it to the start of each period only.  [/quote]
