I'm not an expert, but from watching many OJLL games the last 2 summers, I believe the crease rules in box are a little different than in field lacrosse.  While in field lacrosse if an offensive player merely touches the crease at any time the ball goes to the other team, in box lacrosse I believe an offensive player can touch or be in the crease in the regular course of play when a shot is not being taken, and the player is not interferring with the goalie.  This may be due to the smaller playing surface in box lacrosse.  I believe the rule is the same as field in that an offensive player cannot be in the crease at the time a goal is scored.  I did a quick Google search but didn't find anything on this aspect of the crease rule.  So in the instance you refer to with Trey Deere at about 43-46 seconds of the video, he is merely stepping in and out of the crease before the shot is taken and I believe it is allowable in box lacrosse, and happens frequently during box lacrosse games.  I defer to anyone else who may know more definitively.  (And it's not a stupid question.)
