If he turns away too much, or bails out too far, actually it is. I agree with those who have a no call here. Hard to blame the kid for bailing, though. A lot of things could have happened. Defender might have taken a knee to the face, or the offensive player might have been flipped on his head.
Worst thing that can happen here, in my opinion, is that the defender does recoil from the contact, creating only a glancing blow rather than a direct hit.
Offensive player hits the deck, defender is called for the block, because he didn't take it in the chest/fall down.
