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.

According to the replay shown the L should be the primary and it would be his call. The C is secondary and after he blew his whistle he should have just waited. Of course NCAA might be different than how we call it for high school games. I wonder if the officials discussed this in their pre-game? That being said I see this as a block on the Duke defender but that's just hinsight--looking at the play in slow motion. If I was on the court as either the C or the L it's difficult to predict what I would have called in real time!!

Those 2 officials have worked dozens of times together, and both have officiated Final Fours. A brain fart on the part of the C for not holding his preliminary.
