I only discuss double whistles so we can discuss the philosophy on who is going to take them in pre-game. I work with a lot of college Men's officials that like the college philosophy about who takes a block-charge near or around the lane. So we have to discuss what philosophy is going to be used if it is a strict position like the NCAA takes or some other variation. But mostly this discussion is who is going to take the foul to the table, rather than preventing blarges. If you discuss this, it at least puts you in a better mindset. You are never going to prevent blarges if you do not know your partner had a whistle in the first place.
