If the shot was never released, then it's just like a defender knocking away the ball from a dribbler. The ball remains in team control until an opponent secures control, or the ball becomes dead. Most of us would assume, and usually be correct, that a shot was blocked after the release, but this may not necessarily always be true. The original post simply says "blocks the shot", not "blocks the shot after it's been released on a try". Picky? Yes. Relevant? In theory, I believe, yes.
