to the maybe most impactful discussion, faceoffs, which was the genesis of this thread and discussed at some length at the end of last year by coaches:
- 60 seconds off the face. i think this is a done deal. having rabil write rules isn't exactly a blueprint, but the pros anyway got us the shot clock, and it has improved the game, imo.

Just wondering why shortening the shot clock following the face off is seen as an improvement by some. It seems like a rule designed to devalue a possession. As a result, in Paul's Lacrosse League it has lead to some teams dumping the ball out of bounds after winning the face-off in order to set up their D (yawn). If Rabil wants to run his league that way he can go ahead but I'd hate for the college game, which is superior in so many ways, to blindly follow what the PLL does as it tries to carve out its niche in a niche sport.

recommendations are up.

video review:
adding whether shots were on cage to video review (in more than just uva - hopkins games).
adding coaches being able to challenge in the last 4 minutes + ot.
adding fights and unsportsmanlike conduct for video review by officials.

faceoffs - violation, sit the next face, but no penalty on 3 or more violations in a half.
new mechanic on setup, set and back out for cadence purposes.

then some other suspension stuff.

mostly left the game alone, and vegas takes a bit of a hit.

Seen quite a few FOGOs that have been caught grabbing opposing sticks to dislodge the ball. That should be 3 minute unreleaseable.

It puts less value on the FOGO controlling most of the game and running out the clock. Again, professional sports are the business model, including the professional lacrosse league.

I like getting rid of the penalty after subsequent violations. That always seemed unnecessarily punitive.

I actually like these proposed changes. Good job by Coach Tillman and the committee.
