I had a pair in a JVB game this week that I no-called, though I'm not entirely sure I was right about them.
Both took place roughly about the free-throw line. Dribbler looked to drive, made contact with fading defender that knocked the defender back a bit, but then the dribbler backed off. Certainly not a block, as the dribbler caused the contact, but was there LGP? I wasn't certain enough to call it, but in hindsight, the balance in RSBQ could have been affected.
Part of the reason, I think, is the conditioning that block/charge typically takes place down low, and I wasn't "ready" to see it. That's certainly on me, and I can always blow the whistle late, but my point is when we think of block/charge, usually it's preceeded by a gather.
