As the lead official I definately would have whacked that kid for bending down and saying something. You could tell he came to his sences preety quick and got out of there. This play (block-charge) is 50-50 at best, and I think (hope) coaches realize that. We have the benefit of watching it over and over and seeing it clearly. That is not always the case on the floor, as I'm sure we are all aware. That said, this official certainly needed to do a few things differently. His partners should have been paying closer attention, after the inital whistle blew, to activiy going on. No rest for the wicked and thats us officials on the court.
