In that case, you're almost always wrong.

In such a case, did the defender illegally block the path of the opponent? No. Did the lean make the opponent hit them any harder? No. Did the lean change anything about what contact occurred? No. Do the rules explicitly say the defender may turn or duck? Yes.

There is really no rational justification anywhere that can lead to calling such plays a block.

No call, I can live with, but a block is just wrong.
