With my sincerest apologies to J. Dallas Shirley, there should never, and I repeat never, be a blarge in a game. Yes, there are Casebook Plays and A.R. that tell us how to handle a blarge if we have one in the game. And a blarge is, by rule, handle the same way whether the game is a H.S., men's college, or women's college game: it is a double personal foul.

But as JRutledge has already posted:

"1. Call your primary. If you call your primary, you will know when your partner had a better look at at call than you did. Or you will understand that is their area, and you better be sure before you call anything.

2. Make eye contact. If you are calling something that is out of your primary or in a grey area, know that your partner might be making a call too. Then when you make eye contact, revert back to who's primary the call was made out of.

3. Pregame, pregame, pregame. You better talk about these issues. When you talk about these issues, you know what to do when they happen."

You greatly decrease the chances of having a double whistle on a block/charge, and if you do have a double whistle, JR's posting goes a long way in making one of the whistles go away so that all you have only one foul by only player.
