How are you supposed to keep your head and rules straight?
Prep beforehand
Pregame with crew
Communication: Pregame, during game and postgame
Prep beforehand
Be a good partner and reach out to your crew 48 hours before the game. The R, take some charge and remind the crew that you’re playing NCAA rules
Review the hand out you have (put it in your ref bag)
Pregame
Games at 4:00 pm, get there at least minutes before the game (of course if possible). Have the R lead a pregame talk about 3-man, rules, stuff that has happened in past private school games
Be on the field 30 minutes before the game to meet with HC, talk to table personal and be available for the players
Communication
Make sure you are talking with each other as a crew as much as possible

5. Substitution Box Rule 1-10, pages 10 & 12
“The substitution area shall be 10 yards wide. Two line shall be drawn on either side of the center line and extending past the scorer’s table”
Only players serving penalty time, players ready to substitute [imamate], official scorers, timer and CBO are allowed in the substitution area
“Benches for the competing teams shall be placed in the team area and, where physically possible, at least 10 yards from the sideline, parallel to the sideline”
What does this mean for us as officials: We need to do a better job of officiating the box. It is going to be fast and there is going to be a lot of traffic
Trail is still coming up with the play (clear) but once you get to that first cone at the sub box, hang out.
You’re not going into the box. I stand about 3-5 yards away from the cone. Some officials will go right next to cone, but still on the field
Look for: players just hanging out, early/delayed subs, interference (maybe something more), don’t forget you are still counting ahead
Imamate sub: A player waiting to enter the field of play on the fly shouldn’t be in the sub box until his teammate is at the wing line (use that as a point of reference)
The single needs to help more in terms of counting as the trail is going to be more tied up
Who has the right away: Player coming off the field
Could be an opportunity for the HC to ask something
I wait until the “mass subbing” is complete and then jog into my position as the trial. You still might have subbing happening at that point. If that is the case, I pull myself toward the sideline, open my hips so I can still officiate the field but keep my eyes on the box.
Pregame: While the R is speaking with the coaches, find out who will be running the box for them. Spend a few minutes with that coach to go over what you will be looking for (reference the wing line) and ask any questions.
If the players and coach are doing a great job: LET THEM KNOW THAT. Work with the coaches.
If they aren’t, at a appropriate time: Let them know what the call was, what you thought you might have seen and answer questions. Work with the coaches.

6. Substitution Box

7. “The dive”
Goal mouth*: Where the goalkeeper is located and plays his position aka “The ice cream cone”
Rule 4-21, page 45
C: “If an offensive player, in possession of the ball and outside the crease area, dives or jumps in a direction away from the goal mouth and lands in the crease, the goal shall be allowed. Provided the ball enters the goal before contact with the crease, goaltender or the goal.”
D: “If an offensive player, in possession of the ball and outside the crease area, dives or jumps in a direction that is not away from the goal mouth and lands in the crease, the goal shall be disallowed. In addition, the player shall be penalized with a minimum of a 1-minute foul [unsportsmanlike]. The penalty may be releaseable or nonreleasable at the discretion of the referee. Contact is not required for a foul to be called under this rule. Defensive contact legal or illegal may have an effect on this play.”
Goal mouth*
NCAA video clips 9:30-12:47
Offensive players need to be diving away from the goalmouth

8. “The dive” You make the call
No goal

9. “The dive” You make the call
Goal: Pending no contact with the crease prior to ball crossing the goal line

10. “The dive” You make the call
No goal

11. “The dive” You make the call
Goal: Pending no contact with the crease prior to ball crossing the goal line

12. “The dive” You make the call
Clip 9: Vermont vs. Utah
What we likely saw in real time
In review and with input here is how it should have been called
What we likely saw in real time
Green inside rolls, gets under his defender, becomes airborne, shoots/score prior to entering the crease
In review
Good goal
These are likely to be the types of dives you’ll see (hopefully)
See how the green player changes his direction slightly to avoid being in the goal mouth

13. “The dive” You make the call
Clip 10: Furman vs. Duke
What we likely saw in real time
In review and with input here is how it should have been called
What we likely saw in real time
Flagdown: Blue push on white
Because of the push: white becomes airborne, in a direction away from the goal mouth, shoots/scores prior to entering the crease
Blue push wiped out by the goal, all-even, face-off
In review
Flag down: #7 Blue push on white
Because of the push: white becomes airborne, in a direction away from the goal mouth, shoots/scores prior to entering the crease BUT…
White makes illegal (interference) contact with the goalie
Goal should be disallowed because of the interference
Blue #7 push 30-second technical: White will be EMO 30-seconds

14. “The dive” You make the call
Clip 11: Furman vs. Duke
What we likely saw in real time
In review and with input here is how it should have been called
What we likely saw in real time
White #31 dodges from X
Blue #3 appears to push white #31 (flag down)
White #31 makes contact with Blue goalie #29
The shot goes into the goal
You can see on the field the the S comes in calling the goal off (no good)
In review and with input here is how it should have been called
There should have been flag down on #3 blue
It appeared that White #31 was attempting to make a legal dive away from the goal mouth and the push changed that direction “he took away, his away”
No goal as contact was made prior to the ball entering the crease
#3 Blue push 30-second technical , white goes EMO
The additional comment on the contact with the goalie: If someone is going to make a legal dive and the goalie makes the decision to come out that is on him
You are likely going to have that goalie wiped out because of the contact but my not have a flag on the offensive airborne player
GET TOGETHER AS THE S AND L. Before your signal, come together and talk. Even if you both have the same thing spend a few second talking (it looks good) and then signal together. That extra time to talk and get it right will go a long way.

15. Definition of a screen Rule 6-5a, page 62
“No offensive player shall move into and make contact with a defensive player with the purpose of blocking a defensive player from the man he is playing, nor may the offensive player hold his crosse rigid or extend his crosse rigid to impede the normal movements of the defensive man. If contact is made between offensive and defensive players as a result of the offensive player’s setting a screen, the offensive player must be motionless before the contact occurs. Illegal contact must be made by the player setting the pick, which may include contact with his crosse. In establishing and maintaining legal screening tactics, the screener shall:
Stay within his vertical plane with a stance in which the inside of the screener’s feet is no wider than shoulder width apart and shall not lean into the path of an opponent or extend hips into that path, even though the feet are stationary.
Not be required to face in any particular direction at any time.
No player, while moving, shall set a screen that causes contact and delays an opponent from reaching a desired position.”

16. Reviewing the 30-second shot clock
The shot clock is put on at the crews discretion
Triggers to consider
Offense isn’t creating scoring opportunities: Change in offense that no longer attacks the goal, not setting picks to create offense
Offensive player with a clear path to the goal and turns away
“Possession shots”
Offensive player has a defensemen “hung” at X and the offensive player stops creating offense (dodge, pass or make a move to the cage) from X after some time has passed
Discuss in pregame how you, as a crew, will administer the shot clock
R only?
R to be apart of decision
At least two communication (S and T)
If you think it needs to be put on, it should have been put on
Use the scoreboard for your 30-second shot clock
When you arrive to the field see what is going to make sense for who will “watch the clock” (S or T)
Make it easy on yourselves start the shot clock on :30 or :00
No scoreboard? Back up timing device at the table, use beeper or manual count

17. Reviewing the 30-second shot clock
Officiating mechanics during the shot clock
Shot clock shall start and stop with the whistle
Penalty or loose ball play-on by the defense will reset the shot clock during an existing stall warning (shot clock). A reset signal shall be used by the officials
A shot that hits the goal pipe or rebounds off of the goalkeeper nullifies the shot clock
If a shot hits a defensive team player other than the goalkeeper does not satisfy the criteria for a shot on goal
In an existing flag down situation (prior to any shot clock warnings), an offensive team can be called for stalling
Neither team shall be called for stalling during a man advantage
If the period ends during a shot clock situation, the shot clock is no longer in effect.

18. Reviewing the 30-second shot clock
Officiating mechanics during the shot clock
Timeouts
A timeout by the defensive team will reset the shot clock
A timeout by the offense and the shot clock will remain on and at the time the time out was called
Shot clock is put on and doesn’t start
Likely the trail official should recognize the situation, count for five seconds and stop play, unless there is an scoring opportunity. Clock will reset to 25 and play is to resume

19. 30-second shot clock: Signals
Initiate
Shot clock has been satisfied
Shot clock violation

20. Rule differences that might trip you up
Face-offs
Restarts
Stall in the last-two minutes: NO
Clearing
Flag down
Goalie out of the cage and restarts
Faceoffs
Avoid play-ons
Count faceoff violations, once one team has three violations in a half: flag down, 30-second technical, illegal procedure to be served by that teams in-home
Restarts
Quick and controlled, defending player doesn’t need to get five-yards on a restart
If the defending player is not beyond five-yards on the whistle of the restart: flag down, 30-second technical, delay of game to be served offending player
Clearing
30-second from when possession is gained: Signal rest, S has the count (20-second beeper and then manual 10-second count)
Count satisfied once clearing team touches their offensive box
Flag down
B1 slashes A2 : Slow whitsle
While initial flag is down and the ball is loose B2 pushes A1 from behind, illegally to gain an advantage: Second flag thrown, play continues.
B1 1 minute slash/B2 30-second technical push
Goalie is clearing gets ball checked away from him at the restraining line resulting in a turnover, can a defensemen from his team enter the goal to “cover”
Yes
Goalie tries to run out a shot and the offensive team retains possession, the goalie is now out of the cage with a pending restart, what do you do
Have a quick and controlled restart for the offensive team. No five-second count for the goalie to get back towards his crease

21. Questions and final thoughts
