oh no. A blarge.

Blow and hold!!! Blow and hold!!!....lol

A blarge is never fun, and although it sometimes makes no difference whether or not is discussed in the pregame-as far as I am concerned personally I will always discuss this in pregame and will always do my best to avoid such situations by waiting that second longer to make sure no blarge happens before I give a preliminary!

It happened to me a few years back, and I don't ever want it to happen again!

You can browse to the play here: ESPN3 -- Miami v. Duke

Lead (Jamie Luckie) had a charge and C (Tony Greene) had a block. Looks like any easy block as the defender lost LGP when moving forward.

Best Dickie V comment in response to the realization they are calling a double foul: "They are just making everyone happy."

That's our goal in administering the rules, just make sure everyone is happy...:)

I don't see an immediate signal from C, so why bother with the huddle and double foul? Plus isn't that L's call all the way?

I don't have a problem with the PC here. Tough call with the offense coming in hot like that.

I think he banged his hips before he came into view.

It's a block - the C is correct. Why penalize the offense for "coming in hot?"

The center most definitely signaled a blocking foul right away.

Agree.

Not sure how the L saw this as PC. Doesn't really even look that close. Different angles, I guess.

I don't mind C having a whistle but I think he has to give L first crack. That being said I think the C got the call right.

From the sideline view looks like a charge, but looking at the end line view I have a block.

I'm not penalizing him for it, I'm just saying it makes the call tougher because it makes any small forward movement by the defense harder to detect.

Agree.

Transition. I have no problem in transition with the C getting that.

I agree that the L should get first crack at this...especially since this is a defender trying to slide laterally into position to take the charge. The lead is in the best position to see that side to side movement. The C can have a whistle on this but he needs to hold any preliminary signal and/or have a later (cadence) whistle IMO.

As is, the C had the right call IMO.
