Hidden ball trick

The hidden ball trick is where a group of players huddles and gives someone else the ball so the other team doesnt know who has the ball. When the goalie is least expecting it the player that has the ball shoots. This trick rarely works but when it does it amazes everyone. The only problem is that it causes a lot of controversy.
There are many arguments arguing if the Hidden Ball trick should be legal in Lacrosse. There have been certain rules to this trick. You are not allowed to huddle around the ball when transferring it. this used to be the most common way. Although, this trick is still dangerous to be used in this sport. If the defensemen thinks one guy has the ball he might play defense on him and injure him when really a different guy has the ball. There are certain circumstances where a flag will still be called for this. When a defender does an illegal body check on a player that does or doesnt have the ball a flag will still be thrown. The big question is what will happen when he does legal checks on someone that doesnt have the ball? And what should the Officials ruling be? This is why there is a big debate on this topic. As a player i believe it should be legal in the sport of lacrosse

A couple years ago, there was an attackman with a really, really good fake pass. He would throw it once per game and then score nearly every time. If he faked out an official, shame on the official.

As far as penalizing a hit on the guy faking possession, note that I stated "big hit". I'm not throwing a flag for a defender posting him up. But you can't let "I thought he had the ball!" be an accepted excuse for leveling opponents.That is asking for trouble.

Maryland recently pulled off this trick in their game against UNC on saturday.

NCAA tournament

The NCAA Tournament Final Four from 2010 had its fair share of surprises. Who saw Notre Dame making it? Who saw Cornell, with all their senior losses, making the return? Or Duke, winning its first National Championship. Surprises.
I like Virginia for one final run of that senior class. They'll be my favorite for a championship, with the depth on offense. they are one of the best teams in the league  right behind syracuse. If they find a way to beat their defense they will be set for the championship.
Syracuse will have a strong senior class, depth in the freshman year and JoJo Marasco running point on attack. Expect the ball to move better here, and a return of the Orange to the tournament. they played a very goood game yesterday beating siena. Their ball movement was great as usual. One of siena's flaws was their amount of turnovers. Next year they will have to work on that so they do not look like a sloppy team.
Maryland after winning thier game against UNC have become a favorite for me. They played great offense with ryan young leading them with a double hat trick. Ryan Young has played a great season and has really stepped up after his mom recently passed away due to cancer. UNC's biggest flaw was their lack of defense. Next year if they want to go somewhere they need to step up their defense

A different type of lacrosse

Box lacrosse, also known as indoor lacrosse and sometimes shortened to boxla, LAX or simply box, is an indoor version of lacrosse played mostly in Canada and North america. The game originated in Canada, where it is the most popular version of the game played in contrast to the traditional field lacrosse game. It is played between two teams of six players each, and is traditionally played on an ice hockey rink once the ice has been removed or covered. The playing area is called a box, in contrast to the open playing field of field lacrosse. The object of the game is to use a long handled racket, known as a lacrosse stick, to catch, carry, and pass the ball in an effort to score by hurling a solid rubber lacrosse ball into an opponent's goal.

Unlike traditional field lacrosse, in box lacrosse you are allowed to fight. If players fight they are given 5 minute penalties but are not ejected or suspended from the game. In traditional field lacrosse if players were to fight they would be ejcted and maybe even suspended from games. However in youth box lacrosse players would be ejected for fighting.

Box lacrosse has many of the same rules of traditonal field lacrosse but shares many rules with hockey. The Canadians invented this game therefore they made it to be played by more of the hokey rules. Some traditional players frown upon the way box lacrosse is played. I guess they just dont understand the origin of the sport.
