Upon further review, I would agree. He is using blarge to indicate a close block/charge call. In that case, no prob.
Rich - don't insult your judgment by calling them blarges. The official who has it in their primary is, and should be, best positioned to make that call. If both of you have perfect view of that call, somebody isn't doing their job. If it's in your area and you call a charge, you better have seen it as well or better than your partner because you both shouldn't be fixated on the ball and the immediate play around the ball. There are 10 players out there, somebody has the on-ball stuff and somebody better see more than that. And if you do have the best view, then the partner's view is just an opinion, and should be considered to be much less informed then your call.
As for 4 charging calls in the first quarter, that would be a rare one. May cause you to reflect a bit as to whether or not you were seeing the play, especially if you think each patner saw each call diffrerently. But if you think you saw it well and made the right calls, it's a series of good calls that led to a statistical anomaly. Strange happenings are not necessarily wrong, but they can be used as a bit of an eye opener or to sharpen your concentration, especially if the partners don't agree on the calls that led to the anomaly.
