COLLEGIATE OFFICIALS COMMITTEE NEWSLETTER 2/07/06

MEMORANDUM
January 30, 2006

TO: NCAA Men's Lacrosse Head Coaches and Conference Commissioners.
FROM: Willie Scroggs, chair NCAA Men's Lacrosse Rules Committee
SUBJECT: STX Crank Shaft head and crosse.

The NCAA Men's Lacrosse Rules Committee was asked to issue a clarification regarding the STX "Crank Shaft" model stick and head.

After reviewing the product, the committee does not believe the stick violates the intent of the rules in this area. When the head and crosse of this product are used together as designed, it passes the table top test listed in the rules book. Inter-changing other heads not designed for this handle, however, could cause the stick to be illegal.

Therefore, this stick and head are considered to be legal according to the specifications in the rules book.
