That's what I was saying. From the angle we have, it's difficult to make the block/charge call. With what we have, I thought it was a charge. But, as Cameron says, if the contact is mainly on the leg, it's a block.

That is not what the rule says. Nowhere does it say contact against a defender's leg is a block.

And contact on a leg does not equal an extended knee.

It doesn't but it is the same effect. If the leg is outside the torso, it is not legal any more than the hip or the knee. Extending the leg comes with extending the knee unless the have some badly broken bones.

I called an illegal screen for that reason last week and HC was unhappy because he felt being stationary satisfied legality.
