				There But For The Grace Of God, Go I ...
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			I've been fortunate enough not to have a single blarge in thirty-one years. This is mainly due to our local "custom" of allowing the lead official (Connecticut is "pretty much" a two person state) to take all double whistle calls (no preliminary signal from the trail), such as in the play described by Snaqwells above. 
 
My biggest fear is that someday I will be the trail, not hear the lead's whistle (we've got some pretty loud gymnasiums here), and come out with a strong player control charging foul from my trail position while my partner comes out with a strong blocking foul from his lead position, with both of us giving strong preliminary signals.
