NFHS Boys Lacrosse Q & A
5/16/16
Q: Team A has possession. Team B commits a foul and a flag is dropped under the slow whistle technique. If Team A is under a (a) 10 second count or (b) 20 second count, does this reset the count?
A: (a) Yes. Team A has a new 10 seconds to advance the ball into the goal area. (b) Yes. Team A has a new 20 seconds to advance the ball across the center line. In both situations, it is the same result as if there had been a loose ball, a violation by Team B and a play on was called. See 4-13 Situation B and 4-14.1 Situation E. Note: if applicable, such a flag down would also reset a 4 second crease count.
