Also, did my first varsity WH last night and it went pretty well other than the coach arguing his guys can block like above and other than having a wing official that was pretty week (heard he was a good one so he may have had an off night).

To illegaly block below the waist, the INITIAL contact must be below the waist. The block you describe is legal.
How about this? 10 yards downfield, blocker dives at the defender. The defender sticks his hands out to avoid the block and touches his shoulders. The blocker then contacts the defender at the knees.
That's a legal block. The defender made the block legal by allowing the initial contact to be on the hands.
