Why do we see 100 check in Sphere? But not one cradling in sphere? They need to make it a piont of emphasis quickly and call it. Players are being taught this as it is never called. The last three years point of emphasis have been against defense. It is time to start calling this. If the stick is on a uncheck able position for 1 second it is turnover. It can pass through the sphere, it can't remain only. The reason for so many checks in sphere is because that is where the stick is being kept.
A emphasis on the sphere rule, make off sides a yellow and shot clock would be three big improvements to this game that just need to be enforced by refs.
