Do the refs flip a coin or something?

Blocking is illegal contact which obstructs the progress of an opponent. Charging is defined as illegal contact by pushing or moving into another player's body.

In a blocking foul you are attempting to get into position to take a charge, but you are too late or you are attempting to take a charge in the neutral area under the basket which is called by the refs as a blocking foul.
A charge is when you get set in time in front of a player as they drive to the basket and you don't move your feet while they run into you or run you over. That is called a charge.

A blocking foul is when a man tries to block someone and hits them on th arm or something and a charge is when a man is charging at another and the offense gets the foul not the defense.

A charge is called when the defender is not moving and not in the restricted zone and the offensive player runs into them.
A blocking foul is called when the defender is moving while being run into.

when someone usually makes a charge it means that they run into to person while making a lay up or when dribbling the ball down the court. when someone makes a blocking foul it is called when they hit someones hand while they are taking a shot..

A blocking foul is when you are on defense and you foul the player when he is going to the hoop. a charge is when you are on defense, you have your feet planted and the player with the ball runs into you on his way to the hoop.

Depends on if the defending player is considered to be far enough away from the basket and has position when the players collide. If he does, it's a charge; if not. it's a block.

a blocking foul is where the defender hit or interferes with the shooter arm or body.
A charge is when the the offender slams into the guy defending him and the defender doesn't move.

basically a charge is called on an offensive player and a block on a defensive player.
