Not true. Blocking below the waist requires that BOTH the blocker and the player being blocked be on the LOS and in the FBZ at the snap.
Also, the block must be in the FBZ.
Finally, offensive linemen are allowed to clip and block in the back in the FBZ. If the TE's little toe is in the FBZ, then the TE is in the FBZ.
So yes, it sounds like the clipping flag should have been waved off.
