Which is why I wrote "when a player is trying to block the shot". Sharpshooternes is on the right track with the hand level thing, but it is used in a different situation than this verticality play he is talking about.

How about from behind say on a breakaway: a blocked shot from behind with body contact that knocks the shooter off balance. What do you rule on this?

Ball then body is
usually incidental (no-call). Body then ball could be a foul or no-call, depending on the amount/legality of contact and what you have called before.
