US LACROSSE OFFICIALS COMMITTEE NEWSLETTER 3/29/06

From Warren Kimber, NCAA National Coordinator of Officials:

There appears to be an inconsistency in a rule interpretation that needs to be addressed. A1 has possession of the ball in Team A's offensive goal box area. The ball becomes loose and B1 slashes A1 or any player on Team B commits a personal foul against any player on team A while the ball is loose. An immediate whistle is blown stopping play and the penalty is enforced. Same stuation and B1 pushes or commits any technical foul against any player on team A. The official signals "Play On" and if Team A regains possession of the ball the play on is over. A subsequent personal foul by Team B while the ball is in A's possession is a flag down. While the ball is loose during the "Play On" and there is a personal foul against Team A, the whistle is blown immediately and the personal foul is enforced.
