Tommy,
Agree with TH in that no amount of pre-gaming will prevent blarges. But, please, please share with me your pre-game on this one. We have tried several and we still have the occasional blarge. If you are not having them, or never had one, maybe whatever you are doing is working.
So, pre-game me. Right now.
thanks

If you are having the occasional blages, then someone does not trust their partner or does not understand who has the ball in their primary. This is not just an issue of pre-game. This is an issue of understanding the mechanics. If you have little understanding of the mechanics (especially in 3 person) it does not matter what you say in the pregame. Pregame is just to remind the officials of their responsibility, it is not for the purpose to teach the official what the mechanics are.
Peace

Mulkey, JRut said a mouthfull. I will just add something I do. If I have a whistle in my secondary (like JRut said there must be an understanding of the mechanics) it will be a crash, something big or it will be in the middle of the paint. I come up with a hammer and look directly at my partner(s). What upsets me briefly is when I have something in my primary and I go with my "mechanic" only to see someone else with a whistle. This is what I do and it has worked for me. There have been a few times when my partner will have a preliminary and I will have a hammer and a verbal. In a crowded gym we can get away with this almost every time. I haven't had a blarge yet and don't jinx me Jurassic
