Another hint

A hint that I got from a college official on calling blocks in the back; watch the action of the player that was blocked after the contact. If he falls forward on his numbers, then he probably was blocked in the back. If he falls sideways, then the blocker will probably get the benefit of the doubt. This is especially helpful on kicking plays.

There is no absolute, and there is no substitute for seeing the entire play. Just a tip that might help.
