That might be true, except for the fact that this has generally not happened before this year, but seems to happen at least once every game I've seen this year. (as I explained earlier)

There's been numerous examples this season where the defender moves sideways into the offensive player, has not set his feet, has not established defensive position etc. and still gets the charging call, whereas in past years these plays were typically ruled blocks.
