There's a difference between zone and collapsing on the ball

by (Login dawgbone98)

In that photo, There are 3 whitby players in the 24' arc 3 Brampton players playing d on them and 2 collapsing in to double the ball.

We've always been allowed to double and triple team the ball, so as soon as the ball enters the 24' line you can collapse in providing you are going to the ball. If you look, 44 has the ball and everyone is collapsing on him (not really any different than this one here:http://canadamasterslacrosse.com/photos/displayimage.php?album=3&pos=2).

The problem is too many teams jam the middle of the floor so when you get a guy who drives to the net with the ball, there are a handful of players in the zone. If you watch Welland play, they rarely have more than 1 guy standing in the 24' line on offense. You start getting 2 and 3 people in there and you'll get guys collapsing once the ball gets in there.
