I really do not think it matters. I mostly only call a block when there is a possible block/charge type of foul or a clear illegal screen. I do not think it is about what the NF says considering that I have never heard the NF specifically address why the signals are used and should not be used in specific situations.

Personally based on what you described, I would likely go with a push call.

How about it is a block if the defender prevents the offensive player from getting to a spot? It is a push if the defender moves the offensive player to a different spot. Just a simple way of thinking about the difference between calling a foul a block or a push. I just came up with this so if it sounds like bs, let me know.

Appreciate the touchback, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a preferred signal for this foul as I've seen it reported different ways.
I wouldn't want to be that guy sticking out at camp for the wrong reasons.
