Doug, I think anytime a player uses a forearm in the back, he's going to gain an advantage. I don't allow post defenders to use a forearm in the back, nor do I allow it on the perimeter in lieu of a hand. Most offense players who are fronted, just put their arm between themselves and the defender. Most don't use it until the ball is passed in. But if they do, you just have to call it. It's not particularly popular but you have to do it. Make the right call and taking the heat, knowing you were right.
