When such things are called blocks, it makes it more difficult on us, especially fighting the mentality that charging fouls rip off the offense. It's almost like a charge is some silly taboo in some people's minds.

You're probably thinking about the play where Derek Fisher tried to take a charge on Rajon Rando. I believe it was on a fastbreak. I agree that Fisher had his torso in Rando's straight line path, but at the last second, Rando stepped and jump to the side and Fisher took the contact more in the side. I agreed with the blocking foul that was called.
