Charge???
 

No real reason for posting this other than to see if I'm the one that's crazy.

This was called a charge. By the official at the other end of the court? No call by the guy right beside it?

Isn't it illegal to flop?

And I have a blocking foul on that play...assuming there's enough contact on the play (which is hard to tell from this angle)

And.... I have a no call.

Im leaning to no call as well. Not sure there was even any contact there.

I have a no-call.

Like I originally posted. The call was made by the trail official farthest from the play (not sure what position you guys call that). Is there ever a point where one official steps in (like the guy right beside it) and maybe straightens the other guy out? Or is that something that you never should do?

The play in question the ball came from his position, so how far he was is not relevant. I do not like the call I saw, but not because of the positioning of the officials.

Peace

What do you mean "straighten him out"?

Distance isn't the only factor in determining who or who should not make a call.

i try to tell younger officials, especially in 3 person games, that calls should be made by "open" or "closed" looks and angles. Just because a person is close to a play doesn't mean they have the best way to process the entire play and make an accurate ruling.

Isn't this the same school where we saw the play with A1 punching/shoving the defender in the neck/face area? (girl's game)

I have no call, unless there's more contact than it looks like. It looks like a flop from this angle.

I watched this play six times.

1) This was the L calls all of the way and that who made the call.


2) CHARGE!!!

P.S. You were talking about the charge at the beginning of the video, weren't you, :confused:?

Negative, although they are both named Trinity Christian, these were not the same school. I'm not even sure if they are in the same state.

Yes, there is a time when this can happen, but it's not on this play.
