Title: Chop Block or not

The question to vote on is simple. Maybe we can also discuss who would pick this action up on a four and a five man crew.

HUGE big-time chop block. Maybe not designed or premeditated, but not at all incidental. The U is certainly primary on this one, in any size crew. Others may be able to help, but this is right in his pond.
I see that some have voted no-foul. Wrong. Way off. There is absolutely no doubt on this one. This is as 'big' as big gets. I wish all calls were this clear-cut. Chop-blocks are usually so hard to see. This one is wide open, and plain as day. If you get this one, you get a big ATTA BOY from your coordinator.

The push from behind would definitely be a BIB on its own. But since it was the high component of a low-high combination block, that becomes the 'major' foul, chop block.

Sure looks like he got the shoulder before the defender turned, not sure about the BIB. But no doubt about the high-low.

Post by: Magician on April 23, 2012, 12:07:28 PM: I think a BJ is more likely to get this since he's watching the blocking at this point and is more likely to see the entire thing. The U would be turning too late to see the entire foul but if he sees it he should get it. The H may get it since the play is away from him but he's got a lot of bodies to worry about. With 4 officials this may be very hard to get.

No doubt it's a chop block though.
