Ending A Slow Whistle Other “normal” lacrosse things will also logically end the slow whistle (such as): A goal Out of bounds The offense commits a foul The period ends Injured player NEW!!!! During a flag down situation, play will continue until: The offending team gains possession A second foul is committed by the defense

Ending A Slow Whistle What’s the call? 1 - Second flag down, additional 30-seconds for offending player. 2 - Second flag down, additional 1-3 miunutes for offending player 3 - Play is stopped 4 - Play is stopped, simultaneous fouls. Players from both teams serve time. Award ball to team with lesser penalty time. If time is even, the offense keeps it. Ending A Slow Whistle NEW!!!! During a flag down situation the ball can become loose, and play will continue. During the loose ball, these scenarios can happen The offending team commits a loose-ball, technical foul (push, hold etc) A personal foul is committed by the defense A technical foul is committed by the offense A personal foul is committed by the offense **Note: All these above situations kill the play immediately

If you’re upset they’re on the field, and that’s why you’re penalizing them, it’s a 1-minute RELEASABLE foul This does NOT count toward the count of unsportsmanlikes toward ejection Conduct foul still exists in the toolbox Coaches On The Field

Warding Off With 2-hands On The Crosse You need extension by the ball carrier to make this call It better be obvious Warding Off With 2-hands On The Crosse

Illegal Follow Through Good check gone bad Starts legal, ends in the head, face Mechanic for Reporting: Open palm to the underside of the chin Illegal Follow Through

Blindsiding Player in a vulnerable position For a big hit that the player doesn’t see coming which is not to the head or neck For a small hit that the player can’t adjust to because he doesn’t see it coming or he turns at the last second Mechanic for Reporting: Closed fist in one motion to the small of your back Blindsiding

Targeting Mechanic: Open palm to the side of the head Enforcement: Either 3-minutes non-releasable or ejection The conversation between officials should be: why should we not eject this player? If you don’t have a good reason not to eject him…. Targeting Requirements: a) Enforcing this rule requires that we perceive intent b) Contact must be made to the head or neck This is a “dirty play” This is “not a lacrosse play” This is a player executing a vicious hit on a “buddy pass” where contact is made to the head or neck
