Why are college officials having a problem with block/charge? I saw once in the ACC playoffs and once in the NCAA games where two officials called different things and they gave each player a foul. The first thing that stood out was that each time, neither of the officials who should have been working that call as secondary made eye contact with the lead official who was working that call primary. In the NCAA game the trail official came down all the way to the foul line extended to make that call. If he is the trail why was he down so far since the lead was on the same side of the court and in position looking in? Is there any training that college officials go through that teach them to blow and not move, then look at their partner before making a call, most of all when it is not their primary area of coverage? Are these people blowing their whistles hard enough so their partners can hear them?
To give two players a foul on a block/charge I think is taking the easy way out as oppose to checking your partner who is in the primary and communicating before going to the table and someone take responsibility for the call. Good luck to the men and women working the rest of the tournament. |

I've never worked in a frenzied NCAA tourney, so I dunno about the decibels of the whistle blowin'. I imagine it's generally loud enough to be heard. And, contrary to your thinking that a blarge is the "easy way out", I just have to disagree with that. I think that's a really hard call to make... for all parties concerned. Keep postin'. mick |

Unfortunately, that is the way it is suppose to be handled.

So who's offended?? Nevadaref posted something to stir up the pot and he got replies...big deal...everyone also realizes that if it weren't for all the $$$ that CBS and the advertisers pump into the men's tournament, it would not have 64 teams either...those $$$ have been great for the men's tournament, and Title IX has been great for the women's...

[/B][/QUOTE] Kevzebra, The mechanics are the same. Over-exuberance of immediately selling the call could have been the cause of the double whistle, or it could have been in the dual coverage area. Either way, prevention may be found in a slower whistle. ...And that's no different from Women's mechanics. mick |
