Okay, I've recently read a number of threads about double fouls called during block/charge situations simply because one person won't bend to the other. My question is this, why would you call a block or charge from trail (assuming it is in the paint)? The lead has the better view of the defense! He is the one to make that call. My poliicy is this, if I feel I must blow my whistle from trail on a block / charge stiuation, that is all I do. Yes I hold the closed fist above my head, and wait for the lead to make his/her call and see what it is. Then we are together, if he fields any heat for his decison you both have the same call, whether you really agree or not.
To have to call a block and charge on the same play is something that comes from lack of communication and should only happen once in your lifetime as a Referee. Now I am goingto get down from my pedestal and hear some comments, anyone.
