Each official is responsibile for his area. Officials aren't going to be able to run as fast as players, at any level. So there will always be offiicals bringing up the rear and looking for such. In trailing a long play, you pick up the players behind the ball and any such fouls. If there was no need for the block, such as it being a cheap shot, it would make no difference whether the block was from the side or not.
