The actual wording of the applicable rules:
A player shall not extend the arms fully or partially other than vertically so that freedom of movement of an opponent is hindered when contact with the arms occurs.
A player who extends an arm, shoulder, hip or leg into the path of an opponent is not considered to have a legal position if contact occurs.
Did you ever mention what level we are discussing?
And what were the signal given for the nature of the foul, if any?
(block, illegal use of hands, etc.)
