Question about Stat on Foul - Block

[Stat-Man]

Here are the relevant parts from last year's NCAA stat manual.

§ 1-1-a: A FGA is not charged if the player is fouled in the act of shooting before the ball is in flight and the goal is not made.

§ 1-4: Article 4. When a player shoots and is fouled after the ball clearly is in flight, a FGA is charged. If the shot is made, then whether it was in flight is not important; either way, the shot will count and a FGA must be charged and a FGM credited. If the shot does not score, the number of free throws awarded, if any, may help indicate if the shot was in flight. [...] If there still is doubt as to whether the ball was in flight, the interpretation shall be that it was not.

A.R. 1. (This also appears in Section 7, A.R. 5.) Adams shoots and is fouled by Brown. (a) The foul occurs before the ball clearly is in flight and the shot is made; (b) the foul occurs before the ball clearly is in flight and the shot is missed; (c) the foul occurs before the ball clearly is in flight and the shot is blocked by Benton; (d) the foul occurs after the ball clearly is in flight and the shot is made; (e) the foul occurs after the ball clearly is in flight and the shot is missed; or (f) the foul occurs after the ball clearly is in flight and the shot is blocked by Benton. RULING: In (a) and (d), charge Adams with a FGA and credit with a FGM. In (b) and (c), do not charge Adams with a FGA. Without a FGA, there can be no blocked shot credited in (c). In (e) and (f), charge Adams with a FGA and credit Team A with a dead-ball rebound. Also, in (f), credit Benton with a blocked shot.

Also from §7:

A blocked shot is credited to a player any time the player appreciably alters the flight of a FGA and the shot is not made and goaltending is not called, or while in the obvious act of shooting the ball is stuffed or knocked loose before it is in flight and no foul is called.

NFHS is similar; NBA and FIBA could be different.

This was enlightening for me, I once was told that unless a foul was speficially called after the shot, an FGA was not charged. Maybe we need some rule myths for statisticians as well
