OK, I agree

Making excuses for my own bad call, or another official's bad call, doesn't help in the learning process.

True. Posters are wondering how I or the calling official could see this as a block instead of a charge. I gave what MIGHT be how I or that official determined the play to be a block. That's not an excuse, that's a straight reply. You can disagree and that's fine. The only real way to find out is to seek out that official and ask him.

My thinking, this official went into the locker room and immediately told his crew, "damn I kicked f'ing block call", or watches the video and says "damn, WTF was I thinking on that play".

Maybe he did. Have you ever done that?
