The one thing I've seen at the HS level is that things have swung WAY too far in the other direction -- anything remotely close is called a charge. Back when I started (in 1987, which seems like only yesterday) the defender needed to have his feet nailed to the floor and be there for a few seconds or it was a block.
There needs to be a happy middle ground based on actually officiating the defense and understanding the concepts of legal guarding position and the responsibilities of both players when a collision happens.
