Sorry for not being clear...Looking to explain a block to a coach who thought its was player control.

Ah, okay. The OP made it sound as though you were talking about two different plays. A blarge is you and your partner simultaneously calling a block/charge situation differently. What you're describing is the coach disagreeing with your call.

Answer is same as before: just tell him his player didn't have LGP then explain - in as few words as possible - why.

Yep, without using such loaded words as "set" or "planted."

Like others have said, don't use terms like "set" or "planted" as that can come back and bit you in the but when you have to call a charge even with the defender still moving.

"He was moving forward at the time of contact."
"He didn't beat the player to the spot."
etc.

In fact, in general, I find that discussions/explanations with coaches are a lot easier when you stick to officiating terms and philosophies.

Good advice APG because being accurate confuses the heck out of them, .

Just use "Coach, he had legal guarding position." If they do not know what that means then there is really not much you are going to explain to them after that if they are convinced you got the call right.

Suggestion: A coach arguing a block/charge call should be the basketball equivalent of arguing balls and strikes and result in an automatic ejection.
