For those of us that are new and still working out the subtleties of block/charge calls it would be helpful to have a little more info that "it was a block"

The term "charging" is often used to describe this foul, but the player control foul is the proper signal. No additional signal is used.

This is different than a team control foul, where a secondary signal is routinely used. The difference, as far as I can tell, is that in the case of a PC foul, everybody is watching what happened. In a TC foul, most often the foul occurred away from the ball and some additional information is very helpful.
