Blindzebra - I think you'll notice the "general-ness" (to make up a word) of my comments. We're talking about a judgement play....a "you have to be there to see it" situation. I'm sure you'll agree that every time a shooter falls down it is not the result of contact by a defender. You'll also agree that there are very few block shots in a game where there is absolutely no contact by the defender on any part of the shooters' body.
All I'm simply saying is that I will give the defender more leeway on contact during a blocked shot if the defender gets a large portion of the ball or even gets the ball cleanly.
