The question is, where DO you officiate? Is your Fed assignor aware of your disagreement with the block/charge rule? Do Fed coaches complain about you, but your assignor backs you up? What is your actual experience, as opposed to your philosophy?
I thought I read somewhere that you were fairly high up in the college ranks. Well, if your assignors there tell you to call this like the NBA, then, yes you should. But why are you telling us in the NFHS associations to call it like you do? Why not say, different levels require different interpretations and that's the way it should be, instead of insisting that your interpretation is the ONE BEST WAY for every game, every level, every situation?
To others who are responding: It may be hopeless to attempt to change tony's (small t) mind, but the responses are still important, since other newbies, and learners need to hear all the different points of view, so that they can find firm ground for their own philosophical decisions.
