New Mnemonic for NCAA Flag Down
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2006 10:03 pmI received this from David Seidman, US Lacrosse MDOC Training Coordinator:
GOODIE
When a flag is down and the ball has entered the attack area (box), play continues until one of the following occurs:
Goal
Out of bounds, or Out of the box
Offensive foul
Defense gains possession
Injury
Equipment violation, or Expiration of the game clock
Also, don't forget to palm your whistle when a flag is down so you don't blow it when you aren't supposed to.
Finally, when there's a flag down and the ball enters the box, the trail should move to the corner of the box. The reason for this is that the trail is no longer responsible for covering the opposing goal, so he should camp out on the corner so he's in good position to see if the ball leaves the box or a foot steps on the line.
