Why do we have to wear baseball hats to ref lacrosse? These never flatter my head and they offer no protection from high velocity projectiles or bold stick swings.
I suggest a nice Fedora in black with white pinstriping or a sturdy Pith Helmet.
For those of whose preparatory education instilled an abiding distaste for polyester, why don't they make a nice cotton zebra jersey with collars that don't make our fashion-conscious wives wince?
Fruity rum drinks should be mandated for officials after any game played in temperatures over 75 degrees. Provided by the home team. Margeritas by the pitcher should be a permitted option.
There's got to be a better way to tote one's flags than tucked into one's trousers. This is fine for the early season when the holiday girth can still hold them in place, but by mid season the flags are prone to dropping on their own accord when ref has to sprint after a fast break. (see inadvertant flag thread for unfortunate consequences thereof)
A dye-impregnated strip should be laid atop the lower poles of a cage so a quick visual inspection of the ball can determine if the pipe hit was a face or base of the cage pipe.
A 1 minute nonreleasable penalty should be assessed on any player who tries to dodge through 3 defenders in front of the cage and then either complains about how his consequent mistreatment is illegal or suffers a 30 second mortal injury which miraculously disappears as soon as the medic arrives.
Any more?
