UK/Ark Double Foul: The Dreaded Blarge

Featured Replies

Very rarely see it but we did see the "blarge" ie block/charge double foul. Every crew talks before the game about making sure "we don't have a blarge" but sometimes it happens.

 

UK got the ball back because they had possession when the double foul occurred. Had Teague released it prior to the collision it would have then gone to the arrow.

 

The crew will talk about that at halftime.

I've never seen that before. :lol:

 

See it once or twice per season (counting high school).

^I understand it if a player reaches in, gets whistled for the foul and the offensive player charges on another. I've never seen before where the guy getting called for the block, somehow also gets credit for taking a charge...How is that possible?

I've been watching basketball for a long time,and I have never seen that call.

I wonder if it has something to do with the new arc?:confused:

Each official has a primary area of coverage as well as then secondary responsibility. The drive to the basket may start in one's and end up in another's . You pre-game this to talk about who has the call. Sometimes you both go up with a foul and you both signal what you have. Unfortunately, you might have something different than your partner. If so, double foul. Watch the next time you see two officials call a foul. One will hold his hand up in the air and give the other the nod to take it so that they do not have the "blarge."

It does not.

And they went to review to make the decision?

 

They went to the monitor to see if the ball had been released yet. If not, UK keeps it. If it had been it would have gone to the arrow.

That makes no sense at all. (Not your explaination, just the rule) You can't have the guy getting called for the block also picking up a charge. It's either a block or a charge, not both. Should be a fine for stupidity.

The only other option when you have two officials calling opposite fouls is to wave them both off. You'll never see it changed.

That's just dumb. When the ball goes out of bounds and both officials have it going opposite ways, why can one overrule the other then? Why not just take it to center court and jump it up?

That may be why they went to the monitor, but they DID go to the arrow. There had already been a jump ball called that went to Arkansas, so arrow was to UK. The next jump ball after the "dumbest call I've ever seen, but shouldn't expect different from Tony Green" went to Arkansas, meaning they had given the ball to UK based on the arrow.

 

Yet another example of the stellar officiating in the SEC.

How do you know they went to the arrow?

Why is there no option to go to the monitor and make the right call in this situation? As you said, it is a very rare occurrence so it's not like taking the time to review it would really affect the flow of the game.
