Are you so sure?



Let me ask a few questions:
  1. Did B obtain initial LGP?
  2. Was B moving laterally or obliquely away from A at the time of contact?
  3. It is necessary for B to remain facing A after LGP is obtained?
  4. Did A get head/shoulders by B?
Are you so sure this is a block? If so, exactly what did B do wrong?

Note that tomegun never said a block was missed....the "foul" he referred to involved a "forearm"....or illegal use of hands, not a block. And it very well could be that...I just can not confirm so from this video.
