The first sentence is definitely debatable, but how is it possible to have a block and a charge on the same contact? |

However, 4.19.8 SitC tells us if two officials make two different calls on the same play (one a block, the other a charge), both fouls are reported, and it is considered a double foul. That is something the NFHS has determined for while, so whether or not we agree with this determination is not an option; we report a double foul. Of course, the best way to avoid that situation is for the primary official to make the call, or for the two officials to not give a preliminary signal before making eye contact to determine who will sell the call. |

Two fists up and no discussion. One foul reported. From the stands and from the bench, it looks like "the officials nailed it". |
Okay, I’ll cave on the very particular call of “charging”; but it’s very possible to have a defensive block and a PC foul on the same play.

I only spoke to its possibility, not its frequency.

Okay, if we accept the idea (which I don't) that once a preliminary signal is made, we are obligated to stick with it, the question arises about when is a signal a signal? The official who has PC goes up with a fist, then starts back down with the hand before realizing his partner also has a fist up. Does the hand actually have to touch the back of the head to make it official, or what?

If I'm reaching behind my head in your situation, I'm likely to have an itch back there. ;) |

If PC official stops signaling after lowering his hand, he's giving it up. |

You're kinda helping me make my point now. There is more than one way out of this little predicament. Back of my head has been known to itch. |

Question: Why do we form an angry mob about a backcourt interpretation but defend this issue with its direct contradiction?
