Block or Charge?

How about this:

Imagine the defender suddenly changes into a stationary sculpture at the moment the offensive player starts his shooting motion.

if the shooter changes his path so that the contact with the sculpture would have been avoided, then foul on defender.

if the shooter keep his path or does not change his path enough so that he would have collided with the sculpture anyway, then foul on shooter.

Thanks.

ysong,
When we referee the Defender and see he is not moving, then the contact must be charged to the Offensive player, mustn't it? Then we decide whether, or not, enough contact occurred to warrant a foul call. Yes?
