At least in the NBA it's crisp. Heels on the dots, it's a block.

It's not nearly that simplistic.

Is there language somewhere in the rules that addresses this? If there is, I've lost track and would appreciate the info.

Yes, 10.6.1 Situation D (last year's book).

What do you mean "it's not nearly that simplistic"? That the defender has to have obtained legal guarding position? Sure, I suppose. It is that simplistic for purposes of illustrating the existence of the real, painted-on dots and not real painted-on dots.
"Yes, 10.6.1 Situation D (last year's book)."
It's NOT in this year's book? What does it say, please?

The NBA rule isn't that simple. There are a lot more factors to consider before it is a block...where did the drive come from, is the primary defender or a secondary defender, is the offensive player backing down or driving? The answers to these make a difference. It's far more complicated that the HS rule (if you call the HS rule as it is meant to be called...without regard to position on the floor).
