It's not that discussing the rules like we do sometimes on this board is bad. Sometimes it's good to discuss the "finer" aspects of the rules to get a really good grasp of the rules...especially at this time in the year when most people are wrapping up their seasons.
But we've gone down this road so many times. On this board, it is literally JAR vs. the world. This crusade is even sillier than an insistence of using a belt or not. I even agree with him that by very definition, a blarge is impossible. But NFHS has given us clear direction on how to handle this. It has a universal application of when it comes into effect. One official calls a charge, one calls a block, we have a blarge. This is the same in NCAA-M and the NBA.
