The game of women's lacrosse has a lot of subjective rules for the refs to follow. The combination of the faster athletes, coaches bending the rules as much as possible and crazy parents make me believe the quality of officials will decline going forward. There is a huge need to attract young refs that understand the modern game, but it's a hard job. This may be the biggest issue facing the great game of women's lacrosse. Calling a the women's game is mostly based on enforcing safety. IMHO the games are not called correctly today with all the charges and dangerous shots being ignored. It's only getting worse and the coaching may lean closer to Spanilla's style going forward because it's too easy to bend the rules. Girls are flocking to the sport, but the rules need to be clarified or injuries will become a major issue.
The men's game is far more violent and faster, yet much easier to officiate. Just no head shots, blind checks or moving picks; I'm joking, but get those correct and you can basically ref a men's game. |
