What percentage of high school officials call this a block?

I would say at LEAST 75%. At least.

I see a lot of blocks called on plays that are obviously charges at the high school level. And the justifications for them are often not rules based. I have heard everything from "He leaned back too soon" or "He was not set..." and they call a block. And all officials will occasionally miss these calls, but it is really not as hard a call as many of us make it out to be. I think NCAA doe a better job calling charges to the point the media is complaining about how many charges are called.

Peace
