I do not totally disagree, but a lot of times the contact with the ball is going to knock a player off balance and any contact that took place is not going to be the reason the player fell, the taking your momentum out of the air while blocking the ball will. Just like someone that tries to dunk and hits the rim instead.

I'm talking more about the out of balance defender that gets ball and then crushes the shooter.....but those pretty much call themselves.
All I know is that when someone has a clean block up top and tries to sell "body down low" It's usually a weak call.
