One Man's Push Is Another Man's Block ...

4-7-1: Blocking is illegal personal contact which impedes the progress of an opponent with or without the ball.
Agree. I believe that JRutledge is correct in that most blocks are illegal screens or a block/charges.
However, I may sometimes give a block signal if a player uses their entire body (not just an arm) to cause illegal contact as in the "hip check" in this video.
In situations where I have a choice of signals, I will often default to a push.
