@Jose Stickman 60's and 70's. When I played in high school in the 90's none of these would have been called. We had football players on our team breaking sticks by hitting guys. Our defense played with crooked arrow sticks. 6' solid wooden sticks, us middies cringed during practice. Those sticks hurt like hell.
@Jose Stickman maybe, im not sure when they implemented the hands together/cross check rule but the fact that he broke his own stick shows why that rule was put in.
I played lacrosse for years, had wooden and titanium sticks broken over my shoulders all the way down to the elbow. It only hurts really bad elbow and below.
I have a guy on my highschool team now that breaks a stick almost every game. We were playing this one team that likes to cut inside really deep for a wicked pads and shot. He slid to the guy and broke his stick in two on the dudes chest. He didn't cut inside for the rest of the game
he got a bad wrap for that hit. yeah it was late and he took his hand off of the stick for the hit but it was not that bad. the UNC hit in the mud that is also in this video was much worse.
That first one was as textbook as it gets. That is so difficult. There's a lot of accidental high contact, that needs to be considered when handing out unreleasable penalties
So the basic rules to follow for a legal are 1.) Hands together and on your stick 2.) Opponent must be within 5 yards of the ball 3.) Must the player square in the chest 4.)Cannot get more than a 5 yard running start 5.) Cannot hit opponent in the head Although in college lacrosse, they are more lenient with the physicality of play
Jaxson Galbreath Those are the rules for field lacrosse. If you wanna see some even crazier lacrosse hits, check out box lacrosse hits. Cross checking is legal, hell anything is legal really
That’s going to be out after I make videos for all the LSMs I want to cover, not sure exactly when that is but I will be making a lot of videos for SSDMs
I played lax from 2007 to 2017. In my time most of these hits wouldve been perfectly fine. While i understand protecting players safety its gotten kind of soft
Way back in the day my friend going for a ground ball broke the femur of an opposing player. Total freak accident. He dropped his shoulder as the guy planted his leg. He said it sounded like a gunshot.
Here’s an idea; try wearing the chinstrap on the helmet properly so it doesn’t come off the instant you get hit. Might also be nice if they required shoulder pads so the refs don’t throw flags for clean hits to chest area just because the opponent is hurt because they refuse to wear pads
@@jamesonmacdonald5615 from the official US lacrosse website "All players, with the exception of the goalkeeper, must wear shoulder pads. Arm pads are required and rib pads are strongly recommended, and often required, as are athletic supporters and protective cups for all players."
every ref that threw a flag for these hits is a massive coward and ruining this sport. First the nfl turned into two hand touch and now you are seeing it happen to lacrosse. Its so pathetic and destroys a major physical aspect of lacrosse. Its truly a shame
Pavel Datsyuk yes but it’s different than slashing in hockey. In lacrosse, you’re allowed to slash someone’s stick/hands/elbow region as long as it’s not overly aggressive
