Some block/charge plays are 50/50's, even when you look at them on tape later. In general, I think a no-call seems to get us in more trouble than anything else.

Agreed. I had a play last week where a player stepped in front of me and blocked my view of the contact. BOTH players went down, but I just wasn't sure that I knew what happened and we WERE working 3-person and I was hoping one of the other two officials would step up.
In retrospect, even guessing *might* have been better because neither partner came in with a call -- and when I asked the other two officials, one thought it was a PC foul and the other thought it was a block. The drive was started above the top of the key (T's primary) and went right down the middle of the lane and the lesson I took away was that pinching the paint would've helped me avoid being screened.
