There was a double foul called last night and I didn't understand the call. The man sitting in front of me was a ref. He said he has seen this call before and the name of the double foul was called a blarge. I am assuming that is a block and a charge. Help me understand:confused:

I don't care what any book says, not possible.

 

And I have to assume he was joking. Was it Clyde?

I have seen it called more than once.

Dunno

Blarge is the unofficial term for the play where one ref calls a block and another calls a charge.

"Blarge" sounds like the antagonist in a Dickens novel.

Just googled it...4:53:1 d - wow

Was you in front of me at game?

Nope.

Hate the rule, but it is a rule. These happen due to one thing; lack of communication by the officials.

I'd argue that it can't happen. It's one or the other.

Not 'can't' but 'shouldn't' rather....

Logic would support you UNTIL you realize it's not just one person making the call. Two officials saw it differently and (unfortunately) both signaled. You can't put the jeanie back in the bottle at that point. You saw what you saw.

 

There is no better solution IMO. The key is to avoid it happening at all.

Your logic would infer one of them was wrong. The rule exists to bail one of them out.

They saw what they saw whether we agree or not. Not sure how it's a bail out.

 

What's a better option?
