Simultaneous charge and block

Besides being wrong about reporting a double foul, what does being "set" have to do with it either?

GA - welcome. Just remember not everything you read on the interwebs is true.

Ding ding ding ding! Thanks eyezen.

Not only does a player not have to be set to draw a charge, he never has to have been "set."

It happend to Burr a few weeks back.

He was the Lead and sold a block, the Center sold a charge.

They went with the Blarge.....

Most of the guys 'round here subcribe to the "yield to the primary" on the double whistle.

As long as the yielding takes place before the selling, it's still by the book. If not, hope it's what your assigners and state want.

Yield, in the sense of withholding your block or charge signal. The primary then goes with what he/she has and we move on.

I figured as much, just wanted to clarify.

Double whistles often occur in the dual coverage areas. In my little corner of Connecticut, when a double whistle occurs in a dual coverage area, we usually yield to the official that the play is moving toward, which is usually the lead.

From my pregame:
On double whistles, let’s both hold our preliminary signal and not give a block or player control signal. Make eye contact with each other. Give the call to whoever has the primary coverage, most often the lead official, unless you definitely have something different that happened first, in which case we’ll talk about it.

From Most Misunderstood Rules list:
A defensive player does not have to remain stationary to take a charge. A defender may turn away or duck to absorb contact, provided he or she has already established legal guarding position, which is both feet on the playing court and facing the opponent. The defender can always move backwards or sideways to maintain a legal guarding position and may even have one or both feet off the playing court when contact occurs. That player may legally rise vertically. If the defender is moving forward, then the contact is caused by the defender, which is a blocking foul.
