20 Years Experience
Chicago, IL
Male, 60
For twenty years I officiated high school, AAU and park district basketball games, retiring recently. For a few officiating is the focus of their occupation, while for most working as an umpire or basketball referee is an avocation. I started ref'ing to earn beer money during college, but it became a great way to stay connected to the best sports game in the universe. As a spinoff, I wrote a sports-thriller novel loosely based on my referee experiences titled, Advantage Disadvantage
As an offensive player, you are entitled to only your vertical space. If your elbows are outside your body's vertical space then any contact is a player control foul.

As you descibe it, no I would not call it a foul because if you did not hit the wrist the result would be the same...blocked shot.
Share Answer: 
If, while blocking the shot, the offense and defense are pushing the ball in opposite directions then it is a held (jump) ball.
However, if the defender blocks the ball out of the hands of the shooter and the shooter recovers, the shooter lost ball control (you cannot travel without ball control) and then regains ball control and lands - no traveling.
