I will leave out any discussion of flop/faking fouled/selling calls as that is a whole can of words that I've got some strong feelings about - beyond you shouldn't call a block because a kid falls and you don't like it. You call a block if its a blocking foul, a charge if its a charging foul.
Focusing on the initial post.
Issue with a lot of games and officials tends to be on driving contact where 1 or both players is displaced/knocked down etc (visibly disrupted) officials often seem to feel like for game control reasons they need a whistle.
IMO if a player has legal guarding position but the offense changes position and contact happens in a way that the defense is not clearly disadvantaged or displaced its not a charge. If the offense is initiating the contact and the defense is legal but the only person impacted is the flailing/off balance offense I'm good with no calls.
Full disclosure I am much more comfortable with multiple bodies on the ground and no air in whistle than a lot of my colleagues.
