rainmaker clearly knows that the feet can move and it can still be a PC, and I'm sure that she doesn't call it incorrectly. What I think that she is talking about is that, especially at the subvarsity level where more of the officials are inexperienced, this play often gets called like the guy zebra44 worked with.

He was about 95% block in the block/charge calls. The tootsies can move as long as defensive position is established.
Therefore, she may well be right that the player is being penalized solely because he moved his feet! We know that this isn't right, but we also must acknowledge that kids are frequently penalized for it.
