And he moved his left foot while the player was in the air - therefore both feet were not on the floor and time and distance were not given.
This is a blocking foul. It's pretty clear cut.

No time or distance is required to be given to a player with the ball....the rule that was quoted was in reference to a player WITHOUT THE BALL.
