I'm not going to teach something that is always called a block and just gets us in foul trouble.

Coach, apparently you coach in the wrong state (geographically speaking). During a Boys Varsity game earlier in the year, we had five Player Control Fouls and only one Blocking Foul (in the six true Block/Charge scenarios during the course of the game). Officials referee the defense. If the defender obtains a legal guarding position, maintain that legal guarding position and the contact is initiated by the offense into the defender's torso, we are going the other way.
