James has stated some great things in his post. If the player is clearly being restrained because his jersey is being grasped and it is at the point of attack, and the defender is making an effort to break contact with the holder, it will draw a flag from my crew. If I see a jersey "stretch" I've got a strong indication that a player is being held and is making an effort to get away from the contact.
By rule, a player blocking with arms exteneded (push blocking) must have his hands open.
