Blocked shot with contact

Do you know how tough that would be for those FEEBLE guys to try and figure that out in metric?

That's why it's never caught on in the rest of the world.

Wouldn't it be cleaner for you "Imperials" to say 1392/348 instead of 80/20?

To remain in the argument, also in FIBA (at least in Italy) a slight contact after the block should be ignored as incidental. For example, many times the contact is caused by the movement of the shooter after the block.

Definitely no tip signal.
