Maybe it's just me, but this explanation means nothing at all (I also think you meant to say you don't called charges deep in the paint). I want to give coach a substantive reason why I called a block/charge play a certain way....
"Coach, he moved into the path after the shooter was airborne."
"Coach, he was moving forward at the time of contact."
"Coach, no time or distance is afforded to a dribbler."
etc.
Telling a coach you have a block because you saw it as a block...well duh! He already knows you saw it as a block because that's what you called! So, how do you answer a coach that asked reasonable, what his/her defender did wrong?
