Kicking team coach wanted a flag for the block in the back but I am not flagging that as it appeared to help the player make the tackle.

Just as long as you have the play being dead and the foul you did not flag did contribute. In your play, if you did not flag it, then the fumble was picked up by another R player and returned for a TD, there is a problem if you cannot bring it back for the BIB. I do agree on the philosophy, but care must be taken when applying it.
