Block/Charge - Beating a Dead Horse

Just like we penalized defensive players in the post when they were held, grabbed and pushed, but when the defense reacts to those things we call the foul on them. The same thing goes for shooters that try to go somewhere they cannot, instead of not calling anything we call fouls on the defenders.

Really? That's how you see it? I really think there are more charges called now than ever -- and many of them should be blocks.
