I think a shot clock in the mens game is unneeded , but the womans game it is without question needed. It is way to easy for a team to play keep away and run 5 min off the clock at the end of a game because the fear of not getting checked into oblivion does not exist . I am the father of a goalie and I tell my daughter to hold the ball for as long as possible because there is no time restraint on clears eater, so she can hold the ball for 5 min also. I think if a boys ref can count to 30, then a girls ref should be able to count to 45, so how about 45 sec to clear the ball over the opposing restraining line. as for a shot clock maybe we can again use the boys model . when it becomes apparent that a team is stalling the ref calls stall and they have another 45 sec to shoot |
