Personal preference on not granting blocks deep under the basket in no different than any of those and as long as you are consistent with your call there is no harm.
Sure, many things are personal preference. BUT, calling a block on a player who earned a charge isn't. That is just wrong. I can see some maybe choosing to call nothing but to call it on the wrong player in direct opposition to the rules is not OK.

Furthermore, it is even dishonest when you know, by NFHS rules, that is should be a charge and you still call a block because of who knows what reason. If you want to call NCAA rules, do so...but do it in an NCAA game. If you don't work NCAA games, you don't get to call it that way.
