what would you do??

A1 shoots the ball, goalie B1 makes the save. The ball bounces from the goalies crosse into the field of play. The goalie B1 leaves the crease to make a play on the loose ball. The ball rolls back into the crease. The goalie B1, while standing outside of the crease, clamps the ball in the crease. A1 checks the goalie's B1 stick. A2 retrieves the loose ball and scores the goal.

Your call? I'll tell you what I did.

Guessing, but goal. Because goalie privalidges only apply is the goalie is standing in the crease.

Goal, provided B1 had no part of his body touching inside the crease when A1 checks his stick. He has no special priviliges there, and, in fact, A1 could have body-checked B1 at that point.

I ruled it a goal. It all happened very quickly and the coach B was very excited about the whole thing.

AMEN! Situations like this are why I come here to read about these things before they happen to me!

Even the most diligent rules person for a referee association cannot cover the obscure stuff we discuss here. And it is always helpful to hear the mundane and everyday rules and mechanics covered again. I played for decades and only learned the rules correctly from becoming a ref and going to this site.
