If everyone starts calling blocking fouls, then the offensive strategy is to go baseline and sideline even more. [/B]

Unfortunately,everybody had
better be calling blocking fouls. It's the rule, whether we like it or not.
What's worse? Everyone calling it the same way, and therefore all the teams now know what to expect? Or different sets of officials are calling it different ways, and now the teams don't have a clue what to expect? [/B][/QUOTE]
Lets face it; the block or charge (B/C) call has to be the most missed call going by referees. At our meeting yesterday it was pointed out that at one camp in NC last summer an experiment took place on B/C. Situations were setup and camp participants were asked to make the call. According to rules guy running the meeting the calls were in the nationhood of 50/50%.
Now we have a clear rule on one part of B/C, if the foot is on the line or even outside of the line it is a block, and some are having fits about this. Guess this will be rationalized away just like hand checks and palming.
