In an attempt to discern what the heck the league is trying to get from its officials, I went and viewed all of the video clips under blocking/charging.

What I discovered is that the charging foul clips are so blatant that Stevie Wonder could call them, while some of those labeled as blocking fouls are debatable. I even believe that one of them is outright incorrect and that is the one I mentioned in the first post in this thread.

Therefore, my conclusion is that the league is telling it's officials that if the play isn't so clearly a charge that it is laughable, then a block is the desired call. That seems to fit nicely with what I've always thought about the NBE--FAVOR THE OFFENSE!
