It looks intriguing. I am looking forward to danowski's "developing the complete attackman", berkman's "team offense" and the Stanford coach's "C4 goalie training".
Any Cougar know what jason Lamb will be discussing? How about Emmerer jamison and moran's "men's legends of the game"?
Something that has me curious-"rule Myths" with Mike Williamson...

Looking forward to Michigan Coach John Paul's presentation on The Clearing Game.

Man, I could fill up a whole book with these. Maybe LaxRef, or Sonny, or any of our current zebras could chime in with things they hear on (and off) the field, but I remember thinking that coaches always like to prove their ignorance of the rules, and sometimes do so in spectacularly ignorant ways. Hard for me to pick just one rules "myth", but here's a fairly common example that would make my personal Top-10 list:

Coach: "That was a goal!"

Ref: "No goal, coach"

Coach: "But it hit TWO pipes! It HAS to be a goal!!!!!"

The one that confuses me is the goalie crease rule. I have heard some people say that if the attackman stands still in front of the goalie, that "he is entitled to his space" but then others say the goalie can purposely hit said attackman with his followthrough, and it is a play on situation.

One of our coaches will be presenting a session as well. It's titled, "Developing Explosive Lacrosse Athletes" on Saturday from 2 to 3pm.
