The refs aren’t good because they don’t know or understand the rules . US lacrosse is to blame for this with lack of training. I saw this first hand when during COVID there wasn’t one continue Education class opportunity. They missed a big window to really train us on all the rules as we sat inside for six months. If I see one more cradling in the sphere when players are running down field or when a shooter on 8M shot puts there stick to their face or body I will scream. We have no problem calling a check in the sphere but don’t even know there is a rule that the offense player can’t have their stick placed their. The other one is all the stepping over the 8M line on FP shots. The line is the line, the rule is the rule-you can’t be on it.
