I am curious - by NFHS rules, this is clearly PC in both cases - unless you're following other rules, how COULD you have a block? A no-call doesn't seem to fit, but a block is definitely wrong - again, by NFHS rules, and the way the play was described.

David,both the NCAA mens and NFHS rulebooks say you can never have a block because the defensive player had a legal guarding position before the offensive player became airborne.Just that simple.It has to be a charge or nothing.Some officials don't use the rulebook as a basis for their play-calling.I'm sure that you will discover that shortly.You may get a lot of "philosophy",but what you won't get is any kind of rules reference that will back it up.You have fun with it,'cause I ain't gonna play around with it again.
