Minn/Mich -- Block-Charge

This happened in the Iowa State-Michigan State regional final a couple of years back. One official called a charge on Iowa State, the other called a block on Michigan State. Neither official would budge. However, the third official came over and basically told them to make a decision one way or the other. Finally, the charge was called on ISU's Marcus Fizer, fouling him out of the game. Soon afterward, Larry Eustachy got dinged twice and tossed, and MSU had the win at the Palace to advance to the final four, which they won.

That's not true. You're correct that neither one would budge but the referee, Curtis Shaw, came in and made the other two officials call a double foul. It was Fizer's 5th foul but a double foul was called.

The center official had a block, which was the correct call.
