Last night I pulled out my video of last years championship game. There were two collisions that looked controversial to the naked eye. And I think Billy Packard, who doesn't know the rules, mentioned as much. The first one was in the first period. In watching it I saw the defensive player get both feet down and facing the apponent. Then I watched him back up and move "obliquely" to maintain his position and took the charge. Jim Burr did a wonderful job of calling the charge. Second half similar situation Dave Hall and one other official, I don't remember who else, blew there whistle. After looking at each other to get it right Dave signals block. On this play in watching it over and over, I never saw the defensive player establish a legal guarding position. Again Great call. Watch the defense.
