As you are getting with your partner...you are thinking..."gosh, I sure wish we had gone over this in our pre-game."

We talk about this in our pregame. If a play is coming towards an official, he/she usually will have the call.
Sometimes this sort of thing happens, you don't like it, but it just does. I would have liked to seen the Trail official hold his signal, if he really thought he had to blow his whistle on this play.
If he is adamant that the call should be a "block" insead of a "charge"...then you both have to decide which way you are going to go. (The stronger official usually prevails here.)
No way go with a "jump ball" as you stated! Go with either a "block" or a "charge"...simple as that.

Next time remember to pregame this type of situation, so you won't look lost on the floor.
