As the 2021-2022 school year approaches, another season of lacrosse is soon to come. I'd like to once again spice up some team talk and speculate on the upcoming year. Most importantly to me, I want to focus on innovating DIAA lacrosse.
With more active programs than ever and a constantly growing player base, Delaware lacrosse could use some innovation.
I have stated before my stance on shot clocks in Delaware and also in comparison to the competition in surrounding states. I previously mentioned potential implementation as a "what if" to question how some of last season's games ended. However this time around, I'm proposing this topic for the betterment of Delaware lax.
Implementing a shot clock would prove beneficial for many reasons. Most notably, as a means to speed up the pace of play. Not only is faster play more entertaining, but it promotes efficiency. This efficiency would be seen in all teams, veteran and new. For the already proven programs, it will promote strength on both sides of the field, requiring a more tactile approach with no time to waste. On the other side of programs, players as individuals and teams as a whole will grow and adapt to the new rule, with the potential for overall improvement.
Delaware schools going out of state to play are already subject to this officiating, why not apply it here.
With that being said, I must add that this isn't a game-breaking or completely game-changing rule. Delaware lacrosse will still be the lacrosse you know and love.
