BLARGE in UCONN/Colorado game

[Johnny Ringo]

Does anyone have video clip of the play early in UCONN/Colorado game?

Lead calls block and Center calls offensive foul at same time when UCONN player was driving to the basket. According to the box score both fouls were reported and UCONN was given the ball for a throw in.

Do you mean the play-by-play instead of the box score?

[Johnny Ringo]

Correct. The play-by-play was stapled to the box score So I went with that.

If it happened the way you describe, what is the problem?

[Johnny Ringo]

No problem at all.

I thought it would be good to see the play. It is something most officials talk/pregame about trying to avoid.

Two whistles on a play and holding and letting one take it, etc...

And to actually see a BLARGE called it could be a good aid for future.

Blarges do not happen because of a lack of pregame discussion, they happen because officials lose their discipline at the time of the play.

It is because of this play is one of the reasons James Breeding is the "alternate" sitting at the table and not working on the floor today.

You have direct knowledge that Breeding was pulled from a game today? Because officials assignments for all this weekend's games are known before the 1st round starts. Officials already know going into their first round game whether they'll be working 1 game or 2.

When a block/charge situation occurs, with double whistles, I'm really good at not giving a preliminary signal until making eye contact with my partner, and remembering what we discussed regarding handling this situation in our pregame conference (usually the lead).

Problems can arise when the crowd is very loud, or our two whistles are sounded at the same exact time, I don't hear my partner's whistle, and I want to sell my call with a strong preliminary signal (especially when I'm the lead).

Knock on wood, thirty-five years and no blarges, but there can always be a first time.

I just searched the play-by-play for this game. I don't see anything that indicates a double foul was called at any point

In the play-by-play at the 18:01 mark of the first half you will see fouls called on each team.

NBC Sports didn't have it. ESPN App has it at 18:02.

Both officials called while moving which is a No-No for most of my supervisors. It was a primary defender coming from the old Center, so I would have liked for him to have had that call. I've been taught not to rotate on an immediate Drive so I would have went back. I think the only double whistle on this play should have been the Trail and Center. The Lead is moving away from where the players are going, there is no way he can have a good look at this play.
