The college lacrosse season should be moved. Since tv has become more important to the sport, it would make more sense to start March 1st and go into June. I know there is tradition with the Memorial Day final, but I think the sport has grown enough to where it would still draw a tv audience on a weekend in June.
The game has slowed tremendously and the subbing and specialization has taken a lot of the excitement away. Having only been exposed to the sport when I arrived in the 90s, I miss the up and down play. It's become so tactical now that it's almost like soccer.
Other than a shot clock and elimination of face-offs, I wonder if you couldn't limit teams to 1 or 2 subs per possession. There could still be offensive/defensive specialists, but it would stop the get the ball in the box and then wait 30 seconds for 3-4 guys to run on and off.
