One philosophy that exists is to call it consistently all game. Last night, I watched a HS playoff game where the first bang-bang call was a block. Next close call was a block again. You could have argued that both calls were charges but they were consistent. There was one call later that I disagreed with because the offensive player pushed the defender with his off-arm before the crash. Still the call was a block. The officials did an excellent job overall.
I will agree that there are too many times where we officials take the easy way out with a block when the defender has done nothing wrong. You make the "right" call only to hear a chorus of comments like: "He wasn't set" "He didn't have both feet on the floor".

What the heck does consistency have to do with two separate calls? Why don't you call each one on its own merits?
If it could have gone either way, then they should've called both charges, IMO.
