Well stated Todd. Didn't we just talk about this in thread a couple of months back?

Think about it people...what would you do if you had a easy block call in your primary, and your partner comes in with a charge? If you choose to only take one of the calls, someone's gonna have some 'splaining do to to the coach that doesn't "get" the call. What would you tell them?

Mark- I agree with you in principle, just like how tie goes to the runner in baseball. However, when the BLARGE happens (and it does happen) how would you get your partner to acquiese his/her call? Tuff situation.

Walk would be great...if you have the presence of mind to signal it before your fist goes up. Otherwise, it would really look like a contrived bail-out call (2 officials with foul signals, discuss, then come out with a travel? Can you say "do over"?!).

IMHO, double foul it, and get on with the game. Then, post-game, reflect on the benefits of holding your whistle.

My fav pre-game quip from the R: "Don't make any calls that I can't explain"
