Triple Whistle
 

I had a night off tonight so what do I do... only logical thing to do, go to the gym and watch basketball.

Anyways it was a 3 man crew and all three of them really had no concept for their zone. On one play A1 was posting up just above the right block. He made a quick move and made hard contact with his defender. As this happened I heard 3 whistles. Looking around I see the L comes out signaling a charge, the C (on the other side of the court) is showing block, and the T is showing a travel. Sure enough they get together and end up going with the C and call a block.

I couldn't help but laugh to myself and think of the past few days posts about calling things out of your zone. :D

The dreaded "blarvel" ???

Sounds like the marvelous blarvel. :D

To quote Darth Vader: "Impressive. Very impressive."

Three whistles, three different calls. Nice :D

Just curious but how did the coaches respond to all this?

Nothing wrong with the trail getting a travel in the post. And depending on the positioning of the players and the active match ups, the C could conceivably come in with a whistle though he should be late...and if he's not going to be late, he's got to hold his signal.

Need A Second ...
 

My nomination for Post O' The Week.

Neither coach really seed that surprised with the tripple call. They just looked at eachother and shook their heads. It was already a 25 point game in the middle of the 2nd quarter.

The important thing here is they got the call right.

Second!
 

:d

The problem is, they didn't.

How do we figure they got the called incorrect?

Should have gone with the travel...otherwise you really have to go blarge. Yuck.

What rocky says:

Exactly.

Totally forgot about the double foul aspect and was concentrating on foul vs. travel.

For what its worth, from the stands I thought charge

If there is not a special name for this we need one!

What do you call an official who gets all 5 fouls on one player?

Yahtzee?

ROFLMAO!!
