John Adams and Block Charge plays.

I think the biggest gripe, even if it is not the stated gripe, with the whole issue is that defenders are increasingly successful at playing for the charge rather than playing to stop the ball and possibly getting a charge. Such an approach....playing for the foul rather than playing the ball....is distasteful to some.

For a long time, many officials, who often incorrectly defaulted to a block unless the offensive player brought a battering ram to the party, were somewhat complicit in satisfying fans' desire to not see "cheap" fouls. Now that officials have started calling the charges that are, by rule, there, people are not happy.

This is why I would like to hear from John Adams directly and not what the committee says alone. If Adams feels there are too many charges called, he will reflect that in is information given to the officials on the Arbiter site and at NCAA Meetings. Remember the committee is made up of coaches which is not often the most educated on what officials do or why they do things. Adams might agree that there are charges that were called incorrectly, but I doubt he will totally change the premise of why we call a block/charge in video examples.
