I did not say that a block ends anything.

This is also what the rules say under 4-27-2 says, “Contact which occurs unintentionally in an effort to reach a loose ball or contact which may result when opponents are in an equally favorable position to perform normal defensive and offensive movements, should not be considered illegal even though the contact may be severe.”

Now from my point of view an airborne shooter almost never going to have many shots blocked without some contact. So I guess in your point of view if a shooter is blocked cleanly with the ball and then part of the follow through by the defender pushes the arm of the airborne shooter, there should be a foul no matter what because the shooter is still airborne.

Maybe that works in the girl’s game, but that does not work very well in the boy's game.
