The first time I heard this school of thought, I was thinking it was insane, but then I thought about it, and it sounds like it can work. Now I've just got to see it happen on the court, and make a decision based on that.

If the defender moves underneath after the shooter goes up, it's a block. There's no question about that, is there? I think your educatiion person is saying, in some cases, he wants it to be not a common foul but an intentional foul, right? Seems like a hard sell to me, 99.9% of the time.
Regarding the original play, seems pretty clear that it's PC if the defender didn't move. Block if defender did move. The easiest way to nail block/charge is to ref the defense.
