BLARGE

[ronny mulkey]

Rut,

I am speaking on behalf of our group's experiences mostly. I have had these in my games but none this year. Can't remember one last year. That doesn't mean that I have forgotten how EASY it was to do or that it won't happen tomorrow. I am involved with training in our group and I see this happening more than it should. So, it makes me curious when I hear about a "magic formula" for prevention. People toss around ideas like primaries, trust your partner, mechanics, etc., but I am asking for specifics. I assure you that these specifics that I have requested are for officials improvement, not for a 100 thread Rut/Mulk argument.

You seem to work a lot of games which probably means a lot of different partners. That by itself is a recipe for officials being on different pages. Also, we seem to have more blarges with "stronger/college type" officials than we do with high school level officials. I see this happening on TV and i have to assume that those people are very familiar with mechanics.
