Being Defensive
One important consideration (other contributors will no doubt express others shortly), especially in block/charge situations, is that you establish first and foremost whether the defender has obtained legal guarding position. That can only be done by giving primary attention to the defender, then seeing the play all the way through as the offender does or does not offend.
That is just one of the instances whereby "reffing the defense" leads to the correct call. The current block/charge videos on the NFHS website, in some instances, illustrate this rather well.
