LGP under the basket ?

Where was the third official?

In my mind, this becomes a rules discussion and it would be okay to "ignore" the blarge (as long as the correct ruling was made).

Sounds to me like a screw-up all around (not that it hasn't happened to all of us).

I agree with Bob on this. This is not two officials making opposite judgments. This is applying a rule incorrectly. Once we all agree on the ruleset and the facts, we can tell the coach that there's no blocking foul because there's no RA; so only one foul will be assessed.

And, honestly, I don't find it hard to believe that a veteran could make this mistake IF: 1) the official is also a college official; and 2) the court has the RA markings (maybe it's played in a college venue). In this case, I can see how the NCAA instincts might kick in until he's reminded that it's HS rules.

I am a college official and work with a lot of college officials in high school games and I do not understand. This is pretty basic stuff to know the rule is not the same.

Some guys just won't give the charge call under the basket regardless of the rule
When my brother was playing an official gave his a minute long lecture on why he wouldn't give that call.

Wow. There's your first clue here.

Same confusion level here. You work the level you're working that night. If they're experienced, they really should remember.
