So a ballhandler just has to look away and the contact is the defenders fault?

No, I think he would apply time and distance rules in this case if he had a choice. IOW, two steps like on a screen.

I can see why it's called a block. Looks to me the defender is moving forward when the contact happens, or least leaning forward and into the offensive player.
