anytime a shot goes in it should NEVER be a block. whats the goal of an offense? to score. whats the goal of a defense? to prevent the other team from scoring. well if the offensive player scores, the defensive player obviously didnt prevent him from scoring. i think blocking fouls, for the most part, is by far the worst call in all of sports. an offensive player can make a sick move, blow by his defender, then soar in for a beautiful layup...and get penalized cause another defensive player is just standing there??? its a  JOKE. it defeats the purpose of basketball, to put the ball in the hoop. remember warrick's tea bag in the f4 against texas? THAT WAS CALLED A FREAKIN CHARGE!!!! the only time it should be a charge is when the offensive player is out of control. like if hes just barreling towards the basket and runs over a defender and just flings the ball towards the basket that has no chance of going in. if youre in control enough to make the shot, then youre not out of control. as bilas says, unless its an OBVIOUS charge, it should ALWAYS be a block.
 
another thing is they should be able to review if a player was in the restricted circle. its no different than an out of bounds call. it would take an extra 30 seconds to review that. we called a charge, but his foot was in the restricted area, change it to a block. they have to do something to fix this cuz its ruining college basketball.
