If that's what you see, then that's what you call. I don't have a problem with that.
I think that "completely blocking the base" is *usually* seen with a leg dropped in front of the base, or a football block or hockey check push away from the base. It's tough to completely block the base just with the feet / legs.
But, I'm not going back to the video to check,
