I'll just be really honest for a second: I hear about 2-3 situations a year in high school basketball where a blarge should be administered. When I ask what was done on the court, you know what I hear? "Oh.....we/they got together and decided it was a block" (Or charge, doesn't matter). It seems like D1 officials take the same approach, or they don't get together at all, they just assume no one knows what really happened and how it is supposed to be administered. Part of me believes that most officials don't want to just swallow their pride and handle the situation how it is supposed to be handled, so instead they take the path of least resistance and hope no one calls them on it.

When I attend NCAA-Men's camps and clinics we are told to ajudicate Blarges properly. And I have seen it done so in D1 games. I've had one blarge, in a D3 game with a guy who works in the D-League. We had no qualms about how to handle the situation. Of course I can't speak for everybody.
NCAA-Women handle the play by defering to the primary official on the play.
