The fact that the defender's body went toward the guard and he is responsible for the contact even after the block.

Two shots..
 

Foul.

Rufus nailed it.

These are the kind of fouls some people hate, because they believe the play is over once the ball is away. Sometimes I wish there were a more specific rule for plays like these, to get everyone on the same page.

It is real simple. Call what is expected in your area. That is what I am going to do. This is not a foul for me at any level, not with the players I see.

Peace

+1 I'll call this a foul any day!

How about posting a clip of what you would call a foul! You must reff in the Army or for the Navy Seals!!

Foul any day of the week.

Lets see. The ball has been blocked before any contact occurs. Neither player then has an immediate play on a ball that is going to be dead anyway. Contact to not clearly and immediately disadvantage anyone, since the shot has already been blocked and ball is on its way to the third row anyway. I wouldn't say contact like this is going to lead to rough play, . . . I've got no foul.

A has a right to not have to land on his head.

In my college conferences my supervisors would not want a foul called on this play.

In HS, if I were in position to see the hit to the head I would call a foul. Would not call a foul at either level for the body contact.

He also has the right to remain silent, right to positive learning environment, and a vast array of others . . . these don't mean that how he lands because of contact (after the ball is on its way out of bounds that doesn't disadvantage him or his team) needs to be called a foul. He could try out for the cheerleading team if how he lands may/may not incur a foul.

I do not have to prove anything to you. It is not a foul at the levels I work. If you want to call that, go right ahead. But you will be suspect if you call that where I work and not expect some body contact on blocked shots. Never been reprimanded for not calling this a foul.

Peace

OOB. Black ball.

With this much contact it is not a stretch to call a foul even if the contact was after the ball is completely out of play, which it clearly was not in the OP.

Foul
 

Good block, but i would not argue with anyone if they call it a foul. One of those judgment calls.
