I am having a hard time with block/charge on Euro Step in HS BV level...many kids are trying it and aren't good enough at it to get around the defender and are causing contact thru the torso but on the side. I believe that again don't penalize the defender for bad offensive moves but it sure looks like a block...

Anyone else having problems with this?
No problems with calling it the charge that it is when it is.
Problems for some come when they're not focused on the defender but on the dribbler. When the Euro Step is executed, their attention is directed at that to verify travel or not and that moment away from the defender is what makes the calling official indecisive about the play.
My take on it.
