First of all welcome to the forum.

Secondly, I have no idea what would most officials call. It is hard to know what to call based on solely the description. But when you say I stick your belly out to make contact, that certainly does not sound like you are vertical or in a legal position.

It really does not matter what they call, you make illegal contact it is a foul. You do not get an extra foul if it is called a specific way. I might call a push, but I could call a block if you do the right things.

Also there are rules different at all those levels. What those levels emphasize is different. Not sure most of us would know what the other levels do or what others around the country would do at the HS level for example. Most of us are different skill levels and have different interpretations we follow.

Peace
