Don't forget: The ball does NOT need to be completely above the height of the net to be a block. In fact, the ball can be completely below the top of the net...and meet the definition of a block. The height of the ball has no relevance at all.
Height of the ball only has relevance for attacks.

I wish my officials association leadership would agree. I have been told by the lead trainers of both of my associations that I was incorrect in my ruling.
