blocking and charging

[coach mb]

Grade 4-8 both JV and Varsity.

Looking for some discussion on the difference and any personal thoughts on when one would be called as opposed to the other.

My observations are that most calls go against the defense. My feeling is that more offensive fouls are warranted based on simple definition. Rule 4-7

In addition ... 4-7-2(c), does this mean as a defensive player I must allow a path or I will (could) be called for a block? Something I was teaching was for a guard (on the press) to drive the offensive player to the side and the forward to trap at half court and draw the charge. I abandoned the play based on the blocking calls.
