tomegun, you say that I am causing us to look inconsistent? I ask again, if a player is standing near the low block with his foot on the lane line for more than 3 seconds do you whistle him for it? What do you tell a coach when he says the last crew in here called it. Same goes for rough post play and what you deem incidental in comparison to what i deem incidental.
In the end I will agree to disagree with you guys...

You're missing the whole point. You can have all kinds of grey areas where you call or don't call an infraction, but nowhere does that go so far as to penalize the wrong team.
What you're doing is akin to a defensive player entering the lane early on a FT then canceling the offensive player's shot.
You can officiate around the grey regions all day and that is a matter of preference but don't try to turn black into white. Don't call the charge if you don't want to but you can't justify a block no matter how you twist it. You're cheating the defender by giving him a foul when he did nothing to deserve it.
