NBA blarge
SportsCenter just showed that the refs had a blarge in the Celtics/Warriors game.
They apparently went with a block as 2 FTs were awarded. I don't know the NBA rule. |
NBA rule 4-19-3...<i>"When officials make conflicting calls in a block/charge situation, the foul shall always be charged to the player that has the lower <b>STAR</b> rating."</i>
It's true, it's true....... |

BTW, the collision happened right in front of the basket but outside the "block/charge" arc (or whatever they call it). Lead had a Charge, C came in with a block. |

My original reaction when I saw the hilights was "Charge" and a great call by the Lead.

Rule 12-B, Section VI:
f. If a double foul occurs as a result of a difference in opinion by the officials, no points can be scored and play shall resume with a jump ball at the center circle between any two opponents in the game at that time. No substitute may participate in the jump ball. |

I can't imagine having to referee a play like that and also having to look at his feet to see if he is on the line. :eek: |
Anyone find a YouTube link?

Definitely was a block, but by rule, they administered it incorrectly.

great call by Mike Callahan. Defenders Right heel was in the restricted area. This is not a blarge. If an official is ruling on a play just on the basis that a block/charge is involving the restricted area and the restricted area alone the other officials may come to the official who made the call and give extra information. For example, if Lead has an offensive foul and it WAS an RA play, and the slot sees that his heel was raised but over the RA line then he may come to the lead and say, "John, I have white #42 with his heels raised in the RA, it should be a block." There is rarely, if ever, any debate. The Lead changes the call and awards the free throws.

The same should happen in our Fed games if a player taking a charge was standing on the OOB line and two conflicting signals happen. If one officials shares with the other that B was OOB, then by rule you have a block. Now, if the PC official's judgment remains that B was IB, then I think you have to go with the DF. That NBA crew looked great getting the call correct. |
