How would you recommend to better defend this? Just better communication on defense overall?

Can someone check in on him, hes been using this audio a lot

Could you do a breakdown on the bandits PK setup , it’s tough to get a clear shot

Don’t know if this is lacrosse or field hockey or something, but why they got the goalie built like a tank😂

first box game today i’m hyped!!

iI dont think the penalty was mentioned again but it should have been called a push with possession..a trip would have had to be more intentional and thats a personal foul. 2 minutes

You could do an austin staats clinic on this all day

Coach, love it! Thank you again for building these out! We're back in season and working to get game ready.

Underrated

To bad staats well never play In the NLL again him and his brother are my favorite players

The board is nice keep putting that in the vids

How long does a head or a shaft lasted you? What does a season of play look like on your gear? What is your favorite head and pocket? Any shooting string tips?

Not to mention you also take Bomberry out of the play by forcing him into the crease. He cant touch the ball until the next pass, so that might free up a D

Thanks can you show how to sub effectively good examples and bad examples

Can you show some transition examples and transition strategies

It doesn't suprise me that there are good Box Lacrose players in Czech - (fill in blank for latest ) because Czechoslovakia was a friggin stud Hockey player FACTORY for 50 years during the cold war.Get some added value out of all those rinks.

wait no believe joey wore 81 his first year but he is 22 now so this video think from last year

yea joey is 22 how do you know name of joey yet not know he’s 22.

How is this even a sport

Schreiber plays a lot like Farnk Urso did . His footwork is not quite as good as Urso(imo) but otherwise a very similar kind of dodger/shooter

that shot should be illegal its so nasty.

I play lacrosse there

Great Review! Not to sound too lax gear nerdy, but I am pretty sure they must have acquired the mold for the Traditional Lacrosse Nations Head from back in the day. used to have one and loved it for a casual catch. Head takes traditional pockets really well and is why there is the double hole bunching in the side wall. Definitely would recommend for youth/new players at the price point.

could you show any different types of defensive systems? Or does every team in the NLL pretty much play the same one?

That’s not spallina that’s horseman

Last place tho

I call it the Filipino Weekend Basketball League Defence

Any team can do it, the Bandits are just more effective at it, partially because of their will to win and also because it compliments the way vinc plays. Looking forward to your videos when the Bandits win their third straight title next year.

I genuinely didn't know you played in the NLL LMAO I thought you were just smart

i’m very new to lacrosse, i am mostly a basketball fan, there should either be a limit of people in the crease or a 5 seconds jn the paint sort of thing.

Checking in the crease 2:05

Lol, I was wondering if you were gonna make this video and I was thinking of your last video while I was watching the finals. Honestly, I can see a lot of arguments for and against this strategy. Like I said on your video last year, this is clearly a "for playoffs" only strategy since I do not think that it can be maintained for an entire season because it relies on the d-guy's willingness to soak shots in volume. As a d-player, I appreciate how effective this is but as spectator, it's utterly aggravating to watch Dawson and Priolo stand pinned to the pipes in the crease with their sticks down in the five hole waiting to get hit. I can see the argument for it as "good defense", but I am just not sure it is overall good for the game. For instance, what happens when offensive players are told to just start shelling the defenseman's knees and legs if they are going to stand there like that? Now, I am not sure if it should be banned just yet since I would contend that Matt Vinc and his nearly perfect angles is the key to making this work. Put another goalie in there and do you have the same success? I am not sure. On the reverse side, if every teams starts using this strategy, how will that effect powerplay scoring? Overall, I could get behind a rule change that effects only the man-down scenario similar to how there's no icing for a penalty killing team in hockey.

I don’t think you need to make a rule. I think that offensive players need to be more A-holes. If they want to sit there start ringing shots off of them

Indoor box is such a stupid game. Also, let them pile in front of the goal. Field players will only take so many shots off the shin

I would suggest a "must be moving through the crease" rule. Defenders cannot stand still while in the crease and, if they are in there, then they must be moving towards getting out. First offence = a warning and fresh shot clock for the O. Second offence = 2 minute penalty.

Should just be a rule that you have to be playing defense or offense. Can't just screen the goalie regardless of your position. Both are stupid and both can easily be solved by ref judgement at the professional level. Adding complexity adds complexity. Not necessary.

I think you're overreacting. There is no reason for a team to pile in the crease like that. It is more detrimental than beneficial. I wouldn't let a team just fire as many open shots at the net as they want simply because I want to pile in the crease. If the league wants to limit the guys in the crease anyway that is fine, but I see a rule that would be hard to enforce because the refs have to juggle so much anyway.

Go Rush!

This is exactly what Ive been thinking about, a rule similar to basketball, I feel like a time limit wouldn’t really work because of behind the net defense but definitely a cap on the number of defenders in the crease

Special thanks to MB, LS, CD and BC for their thoughts and opinions (which I borrowed) for this video.

Idk if I’m just slow but to me it looked like he always was gonna shoot short side

Notice left foot of defender step across in 1st clip then face dodge. Same in 2nd clip but right foot steps over then boom split underneath. Anticipate defenders with lazy feet.

Also a reason to run a quick 2 man during sub game

Awesome!!!

Flop

In minor they call it a lot

I have a real question is that the optimal overhand shot because I feel like when I shoot straight up and down I’m more accurate but have less of an angle on far side shots and harder to get the shot off quick should I always shoot at like a 45 degree angle

Shoot Overhand

it's only a matter of time until every youth player in Europe plays with these sticks! great review, love the Europe-focused content - keep it up!
