You Make The Call (Blocked Shot and Contact)

Robinson was fouled before that block. Different play all together.

The foul was called on Anderson for landing on Nate. The whistle came after the block. Pretty similar to the OP play.

I'd still consider those two plays as different.

I see contact before the block. And Anderson was never in a legal spot. And the contact took place all at the same point. Two different plays.

And unless you talked to the official, you have no idea what the officials actually called this a foul for.

Two different plays for me, too, for the reasons JRut laid out.
