The block/charge call is arguably one of the most exciting calls we make. 1/2 the gym will oftentimes disagree. So many factor must be considered. Hate to reward bad D, hate to reward bad O, LGP, O pushing off, angle, had the shooter left his feet and D took away his landing space, not that it should matter but is this consistant with my partner. All this is consider and decided on in a split second because we gotta hit it hard and possibly sell it in order to keep a coach from blowing to many gaskets.

Is there something we can say ALWAYS happens on a block or charge?
I think it's an experience thing. Usually you can tell when a player is "in drama". At every camp I've been to they made it an emphasis that if there's contact where someone hits the floor, we better get something. If they're acting they get the message pretty quick.
