I think the main reason so few officials call charges is that they are scared. It is much easier to sell a block, and since the majority of playres, coaches and fans dpn't understand what constitutes legal guarding position, the block is the easy way out.

Hear, hear!!

I'm definately from the school that most illegal blarge contact is a PC foul.

I've been told by supervisors, however, that:
(1) If the feet are moving at all, it's a block.
(2) If the defender is in the air, it's a block.
(3) You get the picture . . .

AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
