Of course, the defender did it on purpose. His purpose was to block the shot. Most if not all blocked shots are done on purpose methinks.
Blocking a shot is a basketball play. Shoving a player with the ball isn't; it's an unsporting act.
You can't penalize strength and size. I agree with Tim re: should be a held ball imo also and not a foul.
