I think the call is probably correct especially in real time, but is a great example of the inconsistency of this call in higher level basketball and what takes precendence in regards to determining incidental contact. In some cases we see officials who if the block is clean unless contact after the fact is excessive let this go, other officials who will not allow any contact regardless quality of the blocked shot because the contact is what put them in position to get it.

Inconsistency? From my perspective this was an easy call. I disagree that this was ball then body ( using something akin to the 80/20 rule).. The speed and direction of the defense along with the layup make this a foul. The one freeze frame does not do this play Justice.
