Block Charge

[WIRef]

So I ask this question again. Who's call should this have been? I understand that in the heat of a big game that a double whistle could happen, and I don't have a problem with that. Ideally, one of the officials should have dropped their call before making a signal. That being said, they applied the correct procedure (other than the POI) by book rule, and that is why they are some of the best officials in the country. That fact that they did miss the POI goes to show that they very rarely have conflicting signals, and thus rarely have to apply the rule.

This is 100% C's call. The lead official called across the paint. If lead has a whistle he needs to hold his fist in the air!
