We had our rules clinic tonight. Our state head of officials obviously does not like this rule change. But I suppose he is obligated to speak on following the letter of the law. He held up two fingers half an inch apart and said, "If my foot is this much on the baseline and the dribbler crashes into me and crushes my sternum it is a blocking foul." But then he said, "If I am refereeing this call I am probably not looking so much at the feet as at the contact." He finished by saying, "On this play, when in doubt, assume that the defender is in bounds." I think what he was trying to say was not to call this a block unless the defender had one foot on the bleachers.
