Which clubs have the coaching acumen to adjust to the new rules? Which clubs have the best personnel for the new up tempo game? Guessing two way middies are now at a premium. Also highly skilled offensive LSMs. Look for a lot of ten man riding because 20 seconds isn't much time. Will be great to have an athletic keeper who can cover outside of the cage.


That's an NCAA rule that hasn't even been adopted yet. It was just proposed by the Rules Committee, but still needs to be approved by the [whatever higher up] committee.

I doubt that all of the tournaments, even those that claim to follow NCAA rules, will end up using a shot clock. As you point out, the cost and logistics will make it really hard to outfit every field with a visible clock. Just the cost of the equipment, without getting clock operators, will be prohibitive.


Guessing its adopted by the NCAA and followed by the MIAA A Conference. My guess is the referees will keep the time on the field. Its a brave new world folks.....
