Agree with this but sometimes stuff happens, i.e. somebody screws up.

It requires the officials to determine whose primary area the call is in, and then go with that official's judgement on the play.

And even if you work that out, it doesn't unsure that the call is right. 50% of the time, it will penalize the wrong team/player. At least with the blarge, it is largely offsetting and since the officials initially disagreed, this seems to be the most equitable and fair.

There is nothing in the NFHS rule book which would lead one to arrive at this call. There is nothing in the NFHS case book which says that the two officials cannot confer and come out with a single call.

You're wrong, in that you're the only one I know (anywhere) who says the case book doesn't mean what you don't think it means. Also, there's no better explanation for what the case means by "calls" that makes sense.

I know in my part of Rome if there is a double whistle on a block/charge it belongs to the person it is going towards, in other words it is the lead. This is extensively covered in pregame. Also why we give the closed fist first. If I'm the trail and my partner and I have a double whistle on this type of play, as soon as I see his fist in the air mine goes down

A good pregame regarding who takes what play will help reduce blarges.
Proper Mechanics- whistle, holding your fist up in the air and eye contact with your partner should eliminate blarges. |

Actually, it now says "rules" instead of calls, which seems to take the preliminary signal even more out of the equation, if that were possible.

Nice on paper, but not in the real world. Most of them happen because both officials usually have good reason to believe it is theirs. When exactly does a rotating secondary defender become a primary defender?

As was mentioned, the way to avoid them - all of them - is keep the fist up but don't make a preliminary signal. I had one of these in my GV game (NCAAW 3-person mechanics) last week. I'm L on a semi-fast break. Crash takes place in the lane but on C's half. I wait a beat since my C was recovering to get to her area. I blow my whistle and raise my fist then I hear her whistle and I freeze. I look at her and yell "take it" since I know it's her primary and she calls the PC (which is what I had). It was a little clumsy because of the delay and Team A's HC wasn't thrilled, especially since his team was down 25, but the next time I was in front of him I quietly explained that it looked awkward but I stopped because I heard another whistle.

belong to the official whose area the play is moving into.
