Rut,

We may have said it differently but I meant exactly the same thing that I think that you meant. Get both fouls reported, count basket(if applicable) and go to arrow. If you have pre-gamed this play, it should not take a long time to get it sorted out.

You must not have been reading my posts if you think that I think that pre-games are not important So, I will try this 1 more time.

I don't have a problem with pre-games. I come to these boards all the time for material for my pre-games. But, my point of view is that the pre-game itself will not stop a blarge in every situation. And, we try awfully hard to PREVENT in the pre-game. You might appreciate this, we have resorted to the C or trail that if they are going to go with a call on the collision to be moving toward the play hard so that maybe, just maybe it will be a little harder to come out with an immediate signal if they are moving to the play i.e. run toward it with only a fist. harder to run with the hand behind the head or your hand on your hips.

We do pre-game this play all the time and that works in most of the games in our group, but it still rears its ugly head from time to time. That is one of the reasons that I know that it takes more than a pre-game. So, be prepared to sort it out (quickly) if it occurs in people's (not your) games.

One other thing, I have never said it was acceptable or okay to have a blarge. but, I have seen it happen to very good officials.
