[Clark Kent]

3 person game the other day. We had pre-gamed as a crew to allow Lead to have first crack at a block/charge call that is coming at them. I'm trail on a play that starts in my primary area as the girl (A1) cuts to the basket, the secondary defender (B2) slides over, establishes legal guarding position as A1 dishes off to A2 cutting to the basket. Knowing about what we pre-gamed I patiently wait as A1 crashes into B2 knocking them to the floor. I waited as long as I could when I blow my whistle and begin my prelim for a player control foul, when I hear my partner blow her whistle. I immediately drop my arm and hope that she has a PC foul too....and she does

How do you fellas typically pre game the block/charge calls? Do you think in these situations where the play originates from Trail's area is that his/her call or do you usually yield to Lead?

Should I have not blown on that play? I felt there had to be a whistle on it even late and felt I gave her ample time to respond.

Love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks
