This is most definitely NOT a block. In your case, with the defenders both being knocked to the floor (not flopping), it's a PC foul every time. If the defenders had been left standing (or flopped), no call.

Easy rule of thumb on just about all fouls: A player has to actually DO something to get called for a foul. Standing still is not DOing something. They have to move some part of their body to cause contact.
Well said Camron.
