Blarge in the Wisconsin/PSU game

They didn't go double foul, either. Disappointing.

So, they deemed one happened before the other and explained it to the coaches to their satisfaction?

No. It came out of the C's primary and the offensive player extended an arm and pushed the defender to the floor -- looked like a pretty easy player control foul. C pointed in the other direction while the trail came right in with a block signal. Announcers said that the one official "overruled" the other.

Friend/official is at the game. I called him right after. Asked me if I saw the blarge (of course, it's why I called). BTW, Bo Ryan was not happy.

I thought on the men's side they HAD to go double foul. On the Lady's side we huddle together and one call prevails. Has the mens side now seen the errors of their way and done away with the "Dark Side"?

This shows the problem with that way of handling it, though. The block was oversold and the charge was called with a simple point, so the C ended up backing down on his, IMO, correct call. It was in his primary, too.

If it was block vs. charge, yes. But not if one of the fouls is illegal use of hands or push.

Huh? One official signaled a player control foul, the other a block -- both were for the same contact. Clearly square in the wheelhouse of having to go with a double foul.
