There has to be something done about this. Two similar plays on Stauskas, 2 different results. He drives from the baseline one way, he's rewarded with a blocking foul. Very next play from the other side, it's a no call. Both calls benefitted Michigan, but it's absolutely disgusting that the same play is called 2 separate ways.

What annoys me about the block/charge is that the defensive player HAS to fall down for it to be called. I just want to see it called like a defensive foul. If you push off, it's an offensive foul. If you set a moving screen, it's an offensive foul. If you do any number of things that actually constitute a foul, it's an offensive foul.

This whole secondary defender rotating over to jump in the path of an offensive player attacking the basket aggressively after beating his man is not an offensive foul. If you want to keep that as an offensive foul, then let the bucket count. The point of defense is to keep the other team from scoring...not reward a defensive player for jumping under a guy after his teammate got beat off the dribble. I bet if you changed that call to be "count the bucket give the foul to the offensive player," you'd see alot less of these BS "defensive" plays.

Another one that just happened. GRIII called for a charge, but if the defensive player doesn't fall on his ass and just stands there in a defensive stance(like he easily could have done) there's no offensive foul.
