It's great that you included this subject in the pre-game...unfortunately, not enough people do it.
The Lead is in the best postition to call the block/charge plays in the lane - especially since the defender involved will almost always be a secondary/help defender. The trail has a very poor view as to whether LGP has been established and as a result, the chances of you getting it correct are much lower than the Lead.
IMHO, it is better to stay off of this call. Let your partner(s) live and die with the calls in their area. During a TO or at half-time, ask what you partner saw and explain that there HAS to be a call on this play (either block or charge - the call doesn't matter...so long as there IS a call made).
A D1 Supervisor once shared w/ me his philosophy about your dilemna: stay in your area unless it is A) a non-basketball play (something flagrant or egregious) or, B) a game-changing, end-of-game-call......short of that, stay in your area.
