Block? Charge? No call?

Yup. The one blocking foul I think is missed a lot is when the defender gets another step up after the shooter goes airborne. But refereeing the defense gets that one pretty well.

My default on a crash is a PC foul until proven otherwise (I don't really mean this to sound this strong, but it's how it's coming out of my keyboard). The ball-handler invariably initiates the contact and many times the defender has established LGP. Just cause he's moving or shielding himself or whatever means nothing to me.
