This is one of those things that come down to where you live and what is accepted in your area. On the block mechanic you are not suppose to use your fists. Most evaluators where I live do not like the "proper" mechanic and say it looks less strong as using what is essentially the proper mechanic. It just depends on who you work for and what those say. I believe in proper mechanics, but I also believe that some things are minor. Saying "on the floor" to me is very minor. What I can more about are you rewarding a shot during a foul properly. That to me is the bigger problem.
