Running full speed with shoulders parallel to the dribbler is not guarding the player. Take the position of the defender's body into consideration when making the call.
All good things to consider for the bang-bang block/charge call, but just remember - a PC is any foul by the player with the ball.

A1 is on a fast break, and A2 and B2 are trailing the play, running parallel to each other. A2, trying to block B2 from a potential rebound, runs into B2 - I would hope this is a foul on A2, regardless of legal guarding position.
