I think there's nothing wrong with a defender cutting off a shooter's path. They do it all over the floor, but since officials were too apt to no-call close plays, they took the judgment away.
You know what works to reduce crashes in my games? Blowing the whistle. Get a PC, and the offense adjusts. Get a block, and the defense adjusts.
