IMO, the defender should have to have position and be set for at least a full second before the offensive player arrives, if the defender wants to draw a charge.
Clips 1, 3, and 4 IMO should all be called blocks. And clip #2 was an arm bar/pushoff foul on the offensive player, not a charge.
I guess that I was mistaken, the Wisconsin player only drew 4 charges, not 5.

A full second doesn't sound like much time but at a sprint that's probably about 4 steps. Basically, the defender would have to establish position near the basket when the player with the ball was at about the 3 point line.
