Question about Stat on Foul - Block

I would assume that if a foul is called you would not get credit for a block. But that is a big assumption on my part. And you know what they say about people when they assume.

That was my initial thinking too, UNTIL I considered the case of two defenders where one cleanly gets a block and the other fouls well after the block on the follow through. In that case, we would award a block for one and a foul for the other.

Maybe what I am also saying is that if the call was during the block, I would agree, but since the foul occurred after the shot, that is why I am asking. I guess it doesn't matter too much as long as I consistantly apply the same rule the rest of the season.
