Does one push when tripping? Or hold? Or hand check? None of the above, typically. Blocking, I can see, sometimes.
If given the choices, I would say tripping mostly goes to illegal use. (If it were incidental, there would be no whistle, anyway.) It certainly isn't the perfect signal under the circumstances, but I can't find a better one of those five.

Can't be "Illegal Use"...that is short of "Illegal use of hands (arms)".
It is blocking as it is done with a leg extended outside of the player's LGP or plain legal position. If it is not outside of the player's LGP/legal position, it is not a foul.
