Not that the call is easy to make, but it should come down to how you saw the play, not whether playing defense is hard or not.

Sorry but I disagree. Too many times I have seen us penalize good defense. Often times we are too easy to find that the defensive player did something wrong. We should be more along the lines of innocent until proven guilty. We need to assume the defensive play is legal until the prove to us they violated the rule. In this play, the defender does a good job beating the player down the floor and getting in front of him. Look we all know where the offensive guy is going the defender got way out in front of him and took the play away. This is a PC Call any day in my book....Philosophically calling this a PC call also reduces rough play. By calling this a Block your telling the offensive players that you will allow that continued play and continue to reward the offense forcing its self in on plays...
