Lightbulb on the defender's back

as the season is rapidly approaching, I would like to get one thing crystal clear. From my expierence (which isn't much) I have found that coaches and everyone involved get very upset if you call a very tight game w/ the "touches." Most players have a forearm up on the defender's back, would you as expierenced officials call this?
Doug,
When a forearm goes up on a defender's back, but it's just resting there, I'll be very attentive for the "back door" pass. If the pass comes in and the forearm straightens to make some space, we're going the other way.
And of course, if the offensive player is merely mugging the defender, I'll also go t'other way.
