A philosophy I picked up from a veteran D1 official is that if both players are going into each other, as shown here: i -> <- i, then we have a block.

If it is i<-i and in result to this: \<-\, then it's a charge.

The key is to referee the defense. Pick up the secondary defender IMMEDIATELY. If I missed the secondary defender and I have to guess, I'm going to be wrong.

Mwanr1:

The red highlighted quote of yours is not a philosophy, it is the definition of guarding and screening when they are properly applied. AND, if one applies the definition of guarding and screening correctly you will get it correct 99.999,999,999% of the time.
