I couldn't tell for sure because the camera panned upward to go with the shot, but it very briefly looked that way. A block may have actually been the right call....emphasis on "may". That's the kind of call where you'd like to be able to ask the calling official what he saw on the play.

Jmo.
Agree...can't tell much about the contact from the video. However, the signal made was a hold, not a block. So, I'm guessing the call was for one of the defenders getting arm to arm contact as the shooter went up....but, again, the video was so poor it was hard to tell.
