Another Blarge

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.

The Chiquita Banana character is the patron saint of blarges.

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.
