Flop Question

[jeffpea]

here's a thought from a veteran D1 official who has worked NCAA tourney games....."a charge is a charge...a block is a block...and everything else is a charge!"

IOW, the obvious charges and blocks are easy to call...if you got something borderline, call it a charge.

That's funny, I guess techniques change from region to region. I had a D1 guy tell me at camp this summer, if it's borderline in the 1st half go charge because the offending coach is so far away that he can't really tell & do the opposite in the 2nd half because he's right there. That's just on boarderline block/charge.
Any opinions on this???

I've heard some say to call it a block (especially in the backcourt) to stop the defense from making you make the tough calls.

I've heard some say "protect the star".

The first borderline B/C call of the game should set the tone. If it is called offensive then all the should be called that, if block, same for that, be consistant. 2 years ago I have a no call B/C, shot was missed, it went to the other end with identical B/C play and my partner also no called it, not one peep out of either coach, or fans , first for everything only my opinion. Good pregame topic.
