I am sure someone, somewhere is having a conversation about this. But it is certainly not a common discussion. If you have been around this site we discuss blarges all the time on this site. Many times the threads start with "Almost a blarge in the ....... game." And not one time can I recall anyone after seeing the video trying to suggest any movement should result in a blarge. I subscribe to APG's YouTube site and never have has anyone when I have shown his videos with blarges or almost blarges has anyone suggested what people are suggesting in this thread. So if it was so obvious, why bring up this issue now? Has the rules or interpretations changed in the past year or during the season? If there is only one choice this should have been raised several times before and certainly during this season alone. Never heard this even be suggested on some really wierd area except for one poster that seems to want to have the crusade of that we should not have blarges. And just like this case, he has no rules support for that position.

And I could give a damn what NCAAW does. And I do not see this as a problem. They need a lot more to worry about than what NCAAW officials do. That is all I will say about that part of this discussion.

Another blarge - Missouri State at Creighton

Rut: See your bolded statement above then click on that link. It is a thread I started this season with a video of a clearly obvious blarge where the L CLEARLY signals a PC foul and the C CLEARLY signals a block. They both completely signal their foul. Is that not the definition of a blarge?

What's that have to do with the Gonzaga/Southern play? In your video both officials had a full preliminary signal.

Read Rut's comment that I quoted. I read it that he is saying that he hasn't seen a video on here where it is clear that two officials have two different signals that should result in a blarge. I guess if D1 officials aren't going to swallow their pride and administer the blarge like they should(Like my video in that link), then they sure aren't going to do it when the block signal is only done half way.

After reading his comment about 10 more times he may be saying that no one ever suggests that partial signals equate to a full signal. I'm not really sure.

What you bolded in his post does not resemble what you are attributing to him in this post.

That is not what I said. That is not what I said at all.

I wasn't sure what you were meaning after reading it several times.

The video in that thread I linked to is still relevant: Is that a blarge or not? In that original thread, no one really addressed it other than "How did they administer the blarge?" and a couple of us replied "They didn't, they ignored it".

Your video should have been administered as a blarge in NCAA-Mens basketball. Whether or not it was so administered is not clear from the video.

It was administered as a blocking foul. I watched the entire game.

I'll just be really honest for a second: I hear about 2-3 situations a year in high school basketball where a blarge should be administered. When I ask what was done on the court, you know what I hear? "Oh.....we/they got together and decided it was a block" (Or charge, doesn't matter). It seems like D1 officials take the same approach, or they don't get together at all, they just assume no one knows what really happened and how it is supposed to be administered. Part of me believes that most officials don't want to just swallow their pride and handle the situation how it is supposed to be handled, so instead they take the path of least resistance and hope no one calls them on it.
