If he sticks around, he'll figure it out.

Now, I guess I'll stick in my two cents. I think sometimes the discussion becomes territorial: men's game vs. women's game. But, I still cannot understand the rational behind calling both fouls in that situation, because, by rule, either one happened, or the other, but not both. I think Rut has it right that we are allowing this call so that we do not appear to be "screwing" one team and coach out of a call. But since when do we base our calls on how the coach feels? I hope never.

This situation should never happen, with proper mechanics by a crew. But, stuff happens. And, in the case of the NCAA-W, I believe they have it right - either there was a block or a charge, but never both. So get together, come out with one call, and continue on with the game.
