I don't call blocks that are not blocks. I just tell the kid he's making it a lot hard to get a charge by flopping...I'm no likely to believe it when it does happen.

And you do not call T's when they are T's so no difference.

Calling something that didn't happen is a lot different than passing on something.

A2D. In this case, one is better than the other. Something illegal (flop) did happen, it is simply adjudicated to a lesser degree (block) which equates to a deterrent (kid should learn and not do again). Passing on that illegal something (flop) does not equate to a deterrent and kid will continue to do it.
