#1 No reason you can't DECREASE the gap. If the defender creates contact, then BLOCK could be the call. The amount of contact must be factored-in also.
#2 Wrong. He has been listening to too many TV commentators. The defender does not have to reestablish a legal guarding position with every move (both feet on the floor etc.)
Remember the dribbler is primarily responsible for the contact. If the defender is doing everything legally then the contact is going to be either player control or nothing.
I tend to judge this play upon "Did the dribbler have opportunity to avoid contact?" If no then probably BLOCK. If yes, then perhaps PLAYER CONTROL. Additionally, "Did the dribbler get by (head and shoulders) the defender before contact occurred?" If no, then possibly PC. If yes, then BLOCK.
That is a simplified shot at it. Others will have more comments.
Also this thread was very recently discussed under the same name, Block/Charge, probably within the last week of discussion.
