9. 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

10. 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

11. 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

Field

12. 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

13. 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

14. 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

15. 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
