![]() I heard a story of a substate game (winner advances to the state tournament) last week where one official blarged himself! From the account I was given (I was not at the game), the defender stepped in front of the ball handler and may or may not have taken contact. The defender fell to the ground and the calling official blew his whistle, signaled a player control foul with one hand and a blocking foul with the other. I guess it took about five minutes for the crew to piece everything together before they reported a blarge. And this guy was working the game based on recommendations from coaches... |

Sort of like a coach asking for a "45 sec" TO. They held one arm out and touched their shoulder with the other hand!! |

Actually that is pretty sad. A bad signal at the spot is one thing, but taking five minutes and ending up with a blarge by one official is ridiculous.

I've been personally way to close that. First year working a varsity at small rural school north of me. I'm trail and a girl takes off on a dribble from the opposite baseline headed towards the near side via underneath the basket. Girl steps in and bam. Lead signals a foul with the fist - and should of just stopped there. Next thing I know he's got one hand on his hip and the other behind his head. I think he ended up going block. It just happened to be her fifth which only added to the fun. Being green I stayed as far away as I could.

I did work with a partner who 1st gave the Charge signal, then changed his call ( correctly ) to Block when reporting the foul and the coach questioned the 1st signal, partner explained he gave the wrong signal, but had the correct call, Block. No problem with the coach and not too much of a problem with the crowd.

I was Trail, and it was clearly a PC. Oh well. |

According to the logic of the blarge case: "Dammit, I screwed up the signals, I gotta report a double foul."

Well this is obviously the bad part about this board. I never hear these kinds of discussions in any other officiating discussion. I have never heard anyone but JAR make this claim that a call means anything but a signal. I guess it takes all kinds.

But we've gone down this road so many times. On this board, it is literally JAR vs. the world. This crusade is even sillier than an insistence of using a belt or not. I even agree with him that by very definition, a blarge is impossible. But NFHS has given us clear direction on how to handle this. It has a universal application of when it comes into effect. One official calls a charge, one calls a block, we have a blarge. This is the same in NCAA-M and the NBA.
