RR,

Not all blocks contact the hands. You're assuming all blocks contact the hands. Not true.

The example you stated would likely be first contact. It also is not the same as what I described earlier.

Let's say a blocker has hands above the net, and the ball is hit into her head, which is below the net. Legal block, even though the contact occurred below the net.
