Mid way into my second year, I feel pretty comfortable with the block/charge as long as I remind myself to "referee the defense" You can't watch the ball and get a good feel for block/charge IMO.

Explaining to the coach that once the defender obtains legal guarding position, he doesn't have to have both feet down AND can move (not forward) is driving them nuts.

Travelling has taken over as #1, but as long as I can view the pivot, it becomes easier, not easy....

I suspect that next year, I will be moving on to more complicated issues like, consistency in the block/charge (ie- we had a block on home team at one end, so in a bang-bang play at the other, it should be a block on visiting team) In those terms, I think the block/charge will regain its spot as #1....
