Message: [QUOTE="outoftownie, post: 1049247, member: 551"] As Dave Rahme said in the preseason chat, the game has gone from a players sport to a coaches sport. There were fogos and ssdms in the 90s, and those teams still managed to run, make plays in transition and score more than 10 goals a game. Today the game has come to a grinding halt because stick technology does not allow for takeaways/turnovers that stay in bounds and coaches have to have their thumbprint on every pass and move a player makes. As a former goalie, the most frustrating thing is watching today's goalies barely look upfield after a save, now it is almost guaranteed they will pass to a defender on the sideline adjacent instead of throwing it to a middie breaking upfield. Kills transition, slows the game, bores the crowd and loses fans. Every sport in America is trying to increase offense and ncaa lacrosse is doing the opposite. [/QUOTE]
