I have always been taught if there is contact with the body, it would be a block, but if the contact is with the hand or arms, it could be a push or illegal contact signal. However, I don't think you will get much feedback on either call. From the camps I've attended, there isn't a lot of emphasis put on the exact type of foul called. However, I have heard comments if you give one type of preliminary signal at the spot, and give a different signal at the table; that shows uncertainty of the call. But don't get too hung up on the subtle differences between the individual types of fouls. Just make sure you have a foul.
