He could have easily lead with his hands and just shoved the defender. Put one or both hands on his right shoulder and push him. A block like this would also totally eliminate him from being able to make a play on the runner.
And it would remove any doubt about any possible foul.

Oh my...now this is good.
That is not how blockers are taught to block, and "leading with his hands" probably means the defender runs right by the blocker and he doesn't make the block.
The defender could have avoided the block too, but he didn't.
