"To get into a legal position, the defender needs to establish himself in the path of the offensive player before contact is made and before he starts his upward shooting motion"
Sure looks like he meet those two requirements to me, yet the official position of the league office is that this is a blocking foul.  |
This is definitely a block. He attempts to get in the path but fails to due to the off. player changing his path.
Every level has different criteria and within the NBA criteria this is a block!
