There was a time when too many blocks were called, making things unfair for the defense. I'm now seeing too many charges called, making things unfair for the offense. The dribbler is not trying to "run over" the defense on the way to the basket, he's simply trying to get around the defender.
I've been asked, and I've seen it asked of others... what did the dribbler do wrong?

The defender has the right to move into his path when he has gained LGP. He cannot come forward towards the ball handler.
You really need to get back in that book if what you said was illegal on the behalf of the defender. Sorry, you really need to get into that book and read the definitions just using your own words.
The defender did nothing wrong based on the replay.
