The example you gave is not the same as, or "IOW", getting plays right. You told us the correct way to call the play. Fine, we all want to call it correctly (with the exception of one notable idiot on this forum), whether we're in HS, college, or pro.

2) Same as above, except you have a charge at both ends.

That's because in NCAA, it
is a charge at both ends. Being perpendicular has no bearing on the play in the NCAA ruleset. That's why we talk about the "pro philosophy", regardless of who doesn't like it. In college and HS, getting to the spot legally is what matters. But in the pro game, where offense seems to be favored, the defender not only has to get to the spot first, but has to assume the correct posture. That's a difference in rules, which is based on a difference in philosophy.
It is NOT, as you say in your post "getting one right and one wrong".
