Indy,

I don't think there is a magical formula, either, but something that you are doing is keeping you from having blarges. That secret is what I would like to share with our high school group. By the way, we have some guys doing D1, as well.

Great job on your play! However your play illustrates my point exactly. You were wondering why he thought that he had a better look and he was wondering why you did not let the C take it all the way to the basket. That is why I am asking people like yourself that never have blarges to be specific in the "mechanics" that they use. But even after you agree on a specific mechanic, I still think that sometimes the C will think the ball clearly came from his side and the L will think that the ball came clearly down the middle. We have seen that on tape many times. And, that does not even begin to factor in secondary defenders. And, what about plays that begin in the trail's area?

Another common thing that I see espoused is that this does not happen to good officials. Matter of fact, it happens to our stronger officials. I keep pointing out that it occurs to those guys that we watch on TV and I have to think that they are better than most of the people on this board.

Any event, it was your anticipation of a second whistle and your steadfast refusal to give a prelim that saved you, not your recognition of primaries, diligent offball coverage, distrust of your partner(s), etc. Right????

Read Tomegun's response and have requested more specifics from him as well. Hope he responds.
