The NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Rules Committee has altered its proposal of a shot clock after receiving feedback from survey data, according to several coaches.

The committee has shifted to an 80-second shot clock that starts on possession. Teams will still need to clear across midline in 20 seconds, but the shot clock will be triggered on possession. So, if a team clears past midline in 10 seconds, it will have 70 seconds to shoot from there.

The reset will be 80 seconds, as well.

The initial proposal announced in early August featured a 60-second shot clockafter crossing midline, with 20 seconds to clear. The reset was 60 seconds.

Since the Rules Committee’s announcement, there has been a feedback period. The NCAA Rules Committee solicits feedback from coaches and conference administrators, who provide feedback in the form of surveys. Those results go back to the Rules Committee to make adjustments.

There was strong organization from some groups of coaches and administrators specific to the shot clock. In a story in late August, a coach described a "groundswell" of coaches concerned about it. Loyola coach Charley Toomey expressed his concerns in Pete Lasagna's column in the latest issue of Inside Lacrosse Magazine.

The altered proposal moves to the NCAA Playing Oversight Panel’s review Wednesday. The PROP committee was formed to "review playing-rules proposals, especially those involving player safety, financial impact or image of the game and to review playing-rules issues, including implementation of playing rules proposed by playing rules committees."
