How does video review affect lacrosse gameplay. What are the current NCAA video review rules for men’s lacrosse championships. Why are experts calling for expanded use of video technology in lacrosse. How can smart field systems enhance lacrosse training and officiating.
NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championships: Current Video Review Rules
The recent NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship semifinal between Duke and Penn State highlighted the limitations of the current video review system in collegiate lacrosse. A controversial goal in overtime, where replays suggested the scorer’s foot may have been on the crease line, brought the issue to the forefront.
According to the NCAA, video replay is currently permitted in championship games only in the following scenarios:
- To correct game clock or shot clock malfunctions or timing errors
- To review if a shot was released before time expired
- To check if a last-second shot deflected off a player before entering the goal
- To determine if a shot hit the in-goal camera
Notably absent from this list is the ability to review potential crease violations or other scoring plays. This gap in the rules has led to calls for expanded video review capabilities from coaches, analysts, and fans alike.
The Case for Expanded Video Review in Lacrosse
The controversial goal in the Duke-Penn State game ignited a debate about the need for more comprehensive video review in lacrosse. ESPN analysts expressed disbelief that such a crucial play could not be reviewed, with recently retired Denver coach Bill Tierney stating, “Our game has got to catch up.”
Why are experts pushing for expanded video review? Here are some key reasons:
- Ensuring fairness in crucial moments
- Reducing human error in officiating
- Aligning lacrosse with other major sports that utilize comprehensive review systems
- Enhancing the overall quality and integrity of the game
Penn State head coach Jeff Tambroni echoed these sentiments in his postgame press conference, asserting that “there should definitely be review” for such critical plays.
Smart Field Technology: Revolutionizing Lacrosse Training and Officiating
While the NCAA grapples with expanding its video review rules, innovative technologies are already transforming how teams train, analyze performance, and officiate games at various levels of play. One such advancement is the Lacrosse SmartField system.
Key Features of SmartField Technology
SmartField systems offer a range of capabilities that can significantly enhance lacrosse training, gameplay analysis, and officiating:
- Automated multi-camera production for comprehensive field coverage
- Multi-angle instant replay for immediate analysis
- Integrated scoreboard technology for enhanced live streaming
- Cloud-based video storage and access
- Advanced player development tools
- Video editing and sharing capabilities
How can these features benefit lacrosse teams and officials? Let’s explore some specific applications:
Enhancing Training and Player Development
SmartField technology provides coaches and players with powerful tools to analyze and improve performance:
- Real-time feedback: Players can review their performance immediately after a play or drill
- Multi-angle analysis: Coaches can examine techniques and strategies from various perspectives
- Personalized coaching: Create individualized video clips and annotations for targeted player development
- Remote access: Review and analyze footage from anywhere, facilitating off-field learning
Elevating Officiating Standards
The integration of smart field technology can also significantly improve the quality and consistency of lacrosse officiating:
- Instant replay capabilities for critical calls
- Multi-angle review to ensure accurate decision-making
- Video-assisted referee (VAR) systems similar to those used in other sports
- Post-game analysis for ongoing official training and evaluation
The Future of Video Technology in Lacrosse
As the debate over expanded video review in NCAA championships continues, it’s clear that video technology will play an increasingly important role in lacrosse at all levels. What might the future hold for video integration in the sport?
- Expanded review capabilities in collegiate and professional games
- Increased adoption of smart field systems for training and player development
- Integration of artificial intelligence for automated play analysis and statistics tracking
- Enhanced fan experiences through multi-angle live streaming and interactive features
As these technologies evolve, they have the potential to not only improve the fairness and quality of play but also to attract new fans and players to the sport of lacrosse.
Implementing Video Review: Challenges and Considerations
While the benefits of expanded video review in lacrosse are clear, implementing such a system comes with its own set of challenges. What factors must be considered when integrating more comprehensive video review into the sport?
- Maintaining game flow and pace of play
- Defining clear criteria for reviewable plays
- Training officials in the use of video review technology
- Ensuring consistency across different levels of play
- Managing the costs associated with implementing and maintaining review systems
Addressing these challenges will be crucial for successfully integrating expanded video review into lacrosse at the collegiate and professional levels.
The Impact of Video Technology on Lacrosse Strategy and Coaching
Beyond officiating and player development, how might the increased use of video technology influence lacrosse strategy and coaching approaches?
- More data-driven decision-making in game planning and in-game adjustments
- Enhanced scouting capabilities through detailed video analysis of opponents
- Development of new offensive and defensive strategies based on insights gleaned from video analysis
- Improved player evaluation and recruitment processes
As coaches and teams become more adept at leveraging video technology, we may see a evolution in lacrosse tactics and gameplay styles.
Video Technology and Player Safety in Lacrosse
Another important aspect to consider is how video technology can contribute to player safety in lacrosse. How might these advancements help reduce injuries and promote safer play?
- Improved analysis of dangerous plays and penalties to inform rule changes
- Enhanced ability to review and address potential concussion-causing incidents
- Development of better protective equipment based on video analysis of injuries
- More effective teaching of proper techniques to reduce injury risk
By leveraging video technology, lacrosse governing bodies and equipment manufacturers can work together to create a safer environment for players at all levels.
The Role of Video Technology in Growing the Sport of Lacrosse
Finally, it’s worth considering how the integration of video technology might contribute to the growth and popularity of lacrosse. What opportunities does this present for expanding the sport’s reach?
- Improved broadcast quality and viewing experiences for fans
- Increased accessibility to lacrosse content through online platforms and smart field systems
- Enhanced engagement with younger, tech-savvy audiences
- Opportunities for virtual coaching and training programs
- Development of lacrosse-specific video games and simulations
By embracing video technology, lacrosse has the potential to attract new players, fans, and sponsors, further solidifying its position in the sports landscape.
As the sport of lacrosse continues to evolve, the integration of video technology will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping its future. From improving officiating and player development to enhancing fan experiences and growing the sport’s popularity, the potential impacts are far-reaching. While challenges remain in implementing these technologies effectively, the benefits they offer suggest that video will become an increasingly integral part of lacrosse at all levels of play.

NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championships Video Review Rules

To review or not to review? That’s actually not a question, at least under the current construction of men’s lacrosse rules in the NCAA Championship.
The NCAA sent an email to media members Saturday after video replays showed that Duke’s Garrett Leadmon had his right foot on the crease in what was ruled a good goal in overtime to down Penn State in the NCAA semifinals at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

The current video review rules, via the NCAA:
VIDEO REVIEW
SECTION 33. Video replay at NCAA Championships is permitted in the following cases:
To correct the game clock and/or shot clock when there is a malfunction or timing error;
To review the release of a shot at the end of a period in relation to the expiration of time for the game clock or the shot clock;
To review if a shot at the end of a period is deflected off a defensive or offensive player before it enters the goal; and
To review if a shot hits the camera mounted inside the goal cage.
The NCAA ended its email to media members by stating: “The play at the end of the Duke Penn State game was not reviewable under the current rules.
”
ESPN analysts were in disbelief that the shot by Leadmon was called a goal, although they understood that the play could not be reviewed. They also pointed out the shadows from the players and the traffic near the crease that shrouded the view of both officials near the play.
“Our game has got to catch up,” said recently retired Denver coach Bill Tierney in the ESPN studio after the game.
Fellow analyst Matt Ward added: “It’s time. It takes away from an amazing game.”
Penn State head coach Jeff Tambroni said in the postgame press conference that “there should definitely be review.”

90,000 Svechnikov about lacrosse goals: “It’s not that easy to do.
The more such pucks, the better.”

Carolina forward Andrey Svechnikov shared his emotions from his lacrosse goals.
This season, the Russian scored such goals twice. On October 30, in a 2-1 win over Calgary, he became the first player in league history to score a lacrosse goal.
– Did you see how many young men began to repeat this feint after you? Post videos on Instagram, YouTube.
– It’s actually nice when they mention that I scored the first such goal in the NHL. And other guys started to try it. And when you play youth hockey, you have more chances to score such a puck. Because there is a slightly different game going on and more opportunities to train this feint. And in the course of the match – take advantage of the opportunity and score such a goal.
– I wonder where this will all go in the future? Do goalkeepers never learn to see through such moments?
– I’m just glad that these creative goals are being scored all over the world. Most importantly, I want fans to be given more joy in such moments. I can’t judge from the goalkeeper’s point of view. But as a forward, I think that the more such goals, the better. And I’ll tell you that it’s not so easy to beat them,” Match TV quoted Svechnikov as saying.
This season, Svechnikov scored 61 (24+37) points in 68 games for the Carolinas with a utility index of +9. On average, he spends 16 minutes and 44 seconds on the ice. Recall that earlier, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the NHL suspended the end of the regular season and the Stanley Cup for an indefinite period.
The NHL wants to play until the end of July. In order not to lose a billion dollars and not bring down the salary cap
