Charge and a block on the same play
 

Last night's varsity game, the dribbler collided with his defender. One ref signaled block, and the other ref signaled charge. They got together and gave a foul to each of them, and went to the possession arrow. I assume they got it right? Never seen this before.

That is correct under NFHS interpretations.

I am too lazy to type it out.
 

Casebook play 4.19.8 Situation C.

They got it right a couple of years ago, but today we would go with the POI for all double fouls.

You may want to rethink your answer or read the caseplay cited by JRut.

You're absolutely right - I only responded to the part about going with a double foul - didn't read through the entire sitch.

The play I referenced had the ball go in the basket. The coach did not tell us if the ball went into the basket. It is still possible that there would be an AP arrow if the ball did not go through the basket. POI is when there is possession or team control. There is no team control on a shot. It just depends based on the information we have.

Coach, some of the posters are dropping hints without telling you what is wrong with that ruling. Since both fouls are assessed, it's a double foul and play is resumed at the point of interruption. Since you use the term "dribbler" and not "shooter", we're assuming that no shot was involved. If the dribbler didn't release a shot, then the dribbler's team still had team control. In that case, the point of interruption is a throw-in for the team in control (the dribbler's team).

If the dribbler had released a try before the collision, then team control ended and the POI depends on whether the try is successful or not.

I refer to this play as player control and a block. Not charging. Actually charging can be a defender.

Or my wife at the mall.:eek:

It's not a player control foul.

A player control foul is a common foul.

Since this is a double foul, neither foul can be a common foul.

Therefore, it is not a player control foul.

Further, if the ball is shot before the foul and goes in, it counts.

You might to re-think yours, Joe.

If the shot is released before either foul occurs and is no good, then you penalize both fouls and go to the AP arrow. SO the OP could very well have been enforced correctly.

AAAAGGGHHH!!! A BLARGE!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!

Nothing wrong with a double whistle. Hold your signal.
