Blarge Question And NFHS Response
Sooooo, I decided to send the whole case play, etc to Theresia Wynns and this is what I got (maybe the horse is FINALLY dead):
4.19.8 SITUATION C: A1 drives for a try and jumps and releases the ball. Contact occurs between A1 and B1 after the release and before airborne shooter A1 returns one foot to the floor. One official rules a blocking foul on B1 and the other official rules a charging foul on A1. The try is (a) successful, or (b) not successful. RULING: Even though airborne shooter A1 committed a charging foul, it is not a player-control foul because the two fouls result in a double personal foul. The double foul does not cause the ball to become dead on the try. In (a), the goal is scored; play is resumed at the point of interruption, which is a throw-in for Team B from anywhere along the end line. In (b), the point of interruption is a try in flight; therefore the alternating-possession procedure is used. (4-36) Mrs. Wynns: I am a NFHS basketball official in Delaware. I am writing in regard to the case play listed above. It is my understanding that recently the NFHS has said that, in the play above, the two officials should get together, discuss the play, and then decide which foul to report. I am confused given the case play which states both fouls must be reported as a double foul. I understand in a live game situation where both officials signal a foul on this type of play with JUST a fist in the air and no preliminary signal, one official will more likely than not drop and let the other official take the call. That is not my question. My question is what should happen, by rule, if one official blows the whistle and demonstratively signals a blocking foul (hands to hips) and the other official blows the whistle and demonstratively signals a player control foul (hand to back of head) AT THE SAME TIME at the moment contact occurs? The case play seems pretty clear that this would be a double foul situation by rule and interpretation and there is no justification for getting together and discussing which foul to report and which foul not to report. Thank you in advance or your time and consideration Theresia Wynns via appriver3651010340.onmicrosoft.com 4:00 PM (1 minute ago) Reply Walt, If two officials rule fouls and they are opposite, they must rule double foul, report both fouls, shoot no free throws and put the ball in play at the point of interruption.

Her answer was curt enough as to indicate that she has probably answered this question more than once recently.
But nice to have this put to bed. If they ever change the procedure to be more like NCAAW, I'd be ok with that, too. I really don't care either way. Nine years, zero blarges. Knock on wood. |

Different Preliminary Signals ...
Great question walt. Everything was laid out in front of her, including the infamous case play, and she responded the only way she could, with the same response as the caseplay.
I like that you included in the question the fact that the two officials gave different preliminary signals.

Blarge ...
Thirty-six years for me. Zero blarges.
I've come close a few times, when I don't hear my partner's whistle due to the crowd noise, and I try to sell my call with a great preliminary signal.

Well, that settles what the NF appears to think (as if that was not the only evidence of their position).
Maybe a certain poster can move on when this is discussed again (and it will be). Peace

I recognized this possibility as well right away. Unfortunately Mrs. Wynns did not specifically equate "rules" with "signals" which I believe will not dissuade the debate.

That said, if your state governing authority wants you to do it the NCAAW way, have at it. NFHS is clear.

Would this play require anything different in the ruling or approach?
From C’s primary A1 drives along the baseline and he jumps and releases the ball on a try. Contact occurs between A1 and B1 after the release and before airborne shooter A1 returns one foot to the floor. The C signals a charge based on his view that B1 had established legal guarding position. The L, who is still on the other side of the lane, signals a block. His view included B1’s foot being placed on the out of bounds line as B1 attempted to establish legal guarding position and remaining there when contact was made.
