Kouchi while grabbing your own leg.

At a recent local tournament we had this situation, that was a little bit of a controversy. While Tori is not grabbing Ukes leg, in my opinion preventing the possibility of stepping back and thus defending the throw would still fall under blocking the leg. What's your opinion? Would you have given the score or shido?

I can see an argument either way, so I’m not certain. I guess it technically is a loophole, since it’s your own leg, but it can be argued to functionally be the same as grabbing uke’s leg
