Note the difference between blocking and deflecting. Too often we see a defender is in position to deflect or alter a shot by going up sooner or higher than the shooter.
In an agressive move they swat down to kill the shot and not just alter it into a miss.
The aggression, in addition to other commnets herein, is what usually generates the foul.
The defender has as much rights as the shooter to "be there". The defender usually takes it too far.
Referee's are tought to "referee' the defense where 80% of fouls occur.
