Kansas vs Okla St - Blarge (Video Request)

[grunewar]

2:29 to go in the second half.

This game has had six, T's too......

[Camron Rust]

That was a block....not really even close. The defender was still moving forward even at the time of contact when he had to have stopped before the upward motion started.

For those that assert the "blarge" call should default to to the primary official, this is a perfect example of a case that would penalize the wrong player if that had been the way it was resolved.

Announcers got it wrong. Doug Sirmons was the C, John Higgins was the Lead. I agree this is a block, but after seeing the baseline view I can see a faint case for a charge call from Lead. After all it was a secondary defender from Lead's area, thus Lead's primary. C had the best look at whether the player had established LGP before upward motion, which the defender clearly never had. Not a terrible call considering the offensive player looked out of control as well. Now if I ever have a blarge I can just say "well, two Final Four officials had one..." :D

Am I the only one who thinks it's odd the T didn't blow his whistle since the drive originated in his primary?

[JRutledge]

I got a charge. Then again that is what I default to.

Peace

I'm not surprised.

And it was a block.

[APG]

Easy blocking foul...defender is moving forward toward the offensive player at the time of contact.

[JugglingReferee]

Block

[Nevadaref]

Blocking foul. As several other have stated the defender is clearly moving forward, although from the Lead's angle this movement would be difficult to see.
Note the crew correctly went with the double foul.
Does anyone who watched the game know if they went with the AP arrow (to Kansas) or if Kansas got the throw-in because it had team control at the time of the double foul (try was yet to be released)?

PS what's with the black undershirt on the defender?

Block! The defender continued to make a forward movement once the shooter was airbourne. I see it all to often here in Australia where players get greedy and try to take position!

I think you are the only one. I cannot see Trail having a whistle on this play under any mechanics set. Unless both Lead and C pass on it (not gonna happen).

The play never would have happend if the officals had TCB. (The shirt was one of the first things I noticed in the video.)

The Trail could have saved the crew with a 3rd whistle and calling a travel.

Only have joking, b/c it is very close to A1 gathering with his left foot down.

Did you guys see, that play? The blargavel? Triple whistle, one block one charge and one travel, all of whom signaled the preliminary at the time of the whistle.
