We have a saying, "Watch players, not the ball." Therefore, not often do we watch the runner, prior to imminent contact. And, I've never had a back as a key for anyone. Our keys are on the line. I can't think of any of the 5 positions which uses a back as a key.
I've never told anyone not to call holding.
And, if a wing calls a FS on a back, I can accept that, but I will ask if they are watching their keys on the line.
