To say a blocker shouldn't be held liable for any contact after a block is analagous to saying a shooter shouldn't be held liable for anycontact after the shot is released...no matter how hard. The NFHS and NCAA have different penalties for this situation but it is called if the conact is enough.
This is why the term is called "judgment." You do not have to agree, but if the right people do not agree with your judgment, you will not get hired. So it really is irrelevant what the NF or NCAA says. Kind of like what happens in football. The NF or NCAA does not give the philosophy as to how to call holding, but if you want to work higher level ball, you use the philosophy that is widely accepted or you stay at home.
