Perhaps it was confusion between the reference to "circumference" in the NCAA quoted standard, versus the diameter listed previously; a cursory look could confuse the two and make one think lacrosse balls had suddenly gotten much larger. I like things like this as they make many of us, including yours truly, appear idiotic; however for utility to Wikipedia users, perhaps one should drop such references as they don't serve much else save redundancy. This quote should be dropped. Wjkahn (talk) 17:48, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't it be better to have a picture of a ball on a field, and with the NOCSAE standard visible, especially seeing as the article discusses it and no ball without it can be used in play? Daniel Case (talk) 17:07, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
