CANADIAN RULING:
Absolutely this is defensive holding. The defense illegally took a potential blocker out of the play. Such judgment is probably among the more difficult types to learn/detect. It should be flagged only if it has an impact on the play, just as any other tactical foul is considered.

CANADIAN RULING:
We do have DPI even if the receiver is behind the LS. DPI behind the LS is only if the ball is obviously thrown to said receiver.
