I have had this situation several times in the past...in the NCAA games I do - only women's - it is easy...we are required to get together and decide whose primary the play was in...in HS games, I can remember two instances of this happening - the first took me completely by surprise and my partner had already signalled and was on his way to the table before I realized he had called a charge (I had the block) - I had closed and stayed with the players on the floor to make sure nothing happened...result: couldn't do anything but have a LONG talk in the post-game...the second time it happened, it didn't take me by surprise and I handled it better - went to my partner rapidly - he had signalled block as T and I had charge as L (play coming to me)...we talked for about 10 seconds - condensed version was - "Hey, we pre-gamed this. It was coming to me so I'm taking it, ok?" "No problem - will you talk to coach? "I've got him partner"...reported the PC foul, talked to coach about 10 seconds - "Hey, he called a block" "Yep Coach, but it's my call and I had a better angle than he did" "Oh, OK"...could have been worse, I know, but the fact that the coach saw us talking and both nodding our heads vigorously at each other while talking seemed to calm him down...if he starts howling after your explanation, get away from him...T if needed... by book, could/should we have called a double foul - probably, but in the angle I had there was no way it was a block...sorry this is so long...
