Eighth year doing this, I'd never had IT.

Last night, competitive girls conference game. Great partner with similar experience. Game had some tough calls, we were on top of them and calling a great, if difficult and sloppy, game.

Then IT happened.

Gym is extremely loud. Girl drives from out top into the lane, gets the ball up, then there's a crash, ball goes through the basket.

IT happens.

We end up counting the bucket, the point guard fouls out, B puts ball in play with endline throw-in.

Sigh...

At least we administered it correctly.

I hope it's at least 8 more years before IT happens again.

Read my mind, I really don't know what "IT" is either!

"IT" is an official's favorite play! The good ole BLARGE.

Come on...talking about it will help. (or not)

Who called what? And how did you decide which call to go with? (Pretty sure I know the answer to that one.)

As far as deciding which call to go with, there is no decision to make. If one official calls a block and the other a charge, by rule you have a double foul.

I refuse to type its name.

A descriptive attempt at explaining would be nice.

Is this where you have a double whistle and one official calls BLOCK and the other CHARGE?

If you are referring to a blarge then you are correct.
