Its a couple minutes long but right at the end there is a fascinating type of defense.

I actually saw a Georgetown player do this like 7 years ago. Difference was he legitimately lost his stick and then just wrapped the guy up (instead of horse-collaring him). He got a 30 second hold for it.

Was that Woody Hayes playing defense? :wink:

Even if it's not bad enough to call a USC, I'd think you'd need to give him the 30-second hold plus the 30 seconds for playing without a stick.

I know the two coaches pretty well of these two teams. This video is not indicative of their team's approach of the respect they have for the game at all. The coach metaphorically said in the timeout just prior, "what ever you do don't let them get to the cage, I don't care if you have to tackle him". The "tackle" actually worked in a weird way. It broke the momentum and the team in black went on to win. The coach self suspended himself and the player is out for the next playoff game.

Ive been given the order of do anything to stop them and usually i just end up getting a trip or pushing them from behind into the back of the goal(team usually scores on the man up). Tackle was pretty interesting
