Why don't we just go by whether the defender hit the ball, hand, wrist, or arm? Why are we bringing physics, or some type of "cause and affect", into this?
Look at it this way... if a coach asks what his player (in this case, the defender) did wrong, are you going to say "the ball went up"? Of course not. So why use that as a basis for whether there was a foul or it was a clean block?
I guess I can see holding your whistle until you see where the ball goes, and then making the call/non-call. But since there's nothing in the rule book about such a thing, I don't believe it's a good thing to teach.
