Lacrosse as come very far with Referees and are on pace to license all refs. Many already are and they are the ones that have a rookie with them in most games. the growth of the game is happening at high rates and expecting HIGH LEVEL refs at your sons 6 th grade game is a bit ridiculous. The RULE BOOK also clearly states that the COACHES are the only ones that can talk to refs . There is sideline rules just like game rules. Clearly written in in English for all Dads and Moms to see.


Now the Hoco rule book is going to be followed? How about when it was related to safety, sportsmanship, high school players, non normal progression, dual rostered players etc.? Seems a bit hypocritical to pick and choose which rules to follow.
