We all have parts of the game that we call to our own personal preference. I don't call blocks deep in the paint, when a coach asks me why it wasn't a block I tell him I didn't see it as a block...pretty easy stuff here.

We're talking about people calling blocks instead of charges simply because it was too far under the basket.
What do you tell the coach when he asks why it was a block instead of a charge?
1. He was too far under the basket? If so, you just told him you're making up your own rules and you incorrectly penalized the defender.
2. Something else? Given the reason you've already expressed as to why you don't call those charges, you just lied. There goes your integrity.
