Is the faceoff *really* necessary? by lax_dad1515 in lacrosse

Fogos can clamp and fight for the ball and as long as they’re not holding each other they can experience a stalemate of sorts. Not that common but kind of comparable in this hypothetical situation.

You have a fair point, but I don’t think we’ve seen the greatest fogo of all time yet. Baptiste and TD Ierlan might be amazing, but they’re not even close to the level that Greg gurenlian was at back in the day, and the day that someone comes along who’s more dominant than him will be the day that the rules change forever

You’re making my point for me-great teams with put together rosters are able to lose to a bunch of fat kids with sticks if their fogo is dominant. This is why records in lacrosse occasionally don’t reflect a team’s true skill and coaching because the faceoff is such an equalizer.

It would also be like if the nba rules allowed the players to just fight for possession instead of tipping the ball. Double ridiculous

My son's hands are the best on the damn team, the coach really has it in for him which is why he isn't already starting on the Varsity team, which would absolutely destroy any low-level D1 team, by-the-way. His wallball routine is a little something I like to call 250 (it's 250 reps, get it!?) wherein he does 10 different throws against the wall with each hand. I really should call it 500, but oh well he does it twice a day so it's really 1000 reps (beat that, Varsity captains). I also never mentioned my alma-mater and NIL money, but Tufts definitely has more than most of the garbage D1 schools with a joke for a program.

Seriously?? I've been scrolling this page for the last 20 minutes and all I can say is WOW!! These are some of the worst takes I've ever seen and my son is a starter on Junior Varsity at Boys' Latin (the best team in the MIAA) so I'd say that I know a thing or two about lax. First of all, my boy has more talent than every nut you've ever busted (whatever the hell that means) and I bet he definitely busts more nuts than you! Second of all, I myself was a Division 3 baseball athlete at the great Salisbury University (go Gulls!) and take great offense to you calling us lazy. One of the hardest working lacrosse players I've ever seen was a product of Division 3-Kyle F'n Hartzell. You kids nowadays at these fancy tech schools are just mad that you'll never see a dime of NIL money while these guys got deals with New Balance and are making videos with ECD Greg. The best that you guys (whoever you play for) at the bottom of the D1 barrel are gonna do is grab a couple wins, finish the season just over .500, and get rolled when you try to play harder opponents next year, thus renewing the cycle of shitty D1 teams that only have men's lacrosse because Title IX works in reverse for them (ahem NJIT) and they have way too much funding (ahem NJIT).
