You should likely consider that the contact with the arm/torso should be substantial after the ball is blocked cleanly up top in order for you to have a foul. Many camp instructors where teaching 80% ball 20% player should be let go a few years ago. Something to think about.

Rumpref : This is the first year,4th year reffing, that I have applied the 80/20 deal Nevada wrote about. The amount of grief that I get by no calling this-unless it's substantial-has been practically zero. The amount of complaining/grief I get for doing it the old way is in itself substantional.
How I learned to apply this new theory is I needed to swallow my whistle a little on blocked shots and pay attention to whats going on when I swallow my whistle. The feedback I got was amazing.
Now to address those who might say i should or shouldn't make calls based on the complaining/grief factor I agree. Just saying in this one area the results are noticeable...
Also Rumpref they just had a thread in the last couple of weeks on this-couldn't find it but it's relatively recent.
