I bet that everybody who posted on this thread, including myself, if they had access to slo-mo of every block/charge call they ever made, would find at least some contradictions. It's like Maverick (Tom Cruise) said: "You
don't have time to think up there. If you think, you're dead." This is a split-second call that would be very difficult to recreate in your mind. You go with your gut and never blink. One side will be upset no matter what.

True, but it does not apply to all. This is great once you have developed this "sixth sense", but it is not a good idea for a new official to "go with your gut", they need to study the rules and look at actual plays from the stands to see how they apply and then get a feel for what is happening.
