If there is a disengagement, I'm saying this is a block in the back. If he falls on him and won't let him up do we have a hold? No call?

CANADIAN PHILOSOPHY:
There could be a foul here, which would carry a penalty.
Yes, falling a player and not letting them get up is holding.
Yes, after the disengagement, you could have a block in the back, although we are liberal about blocks away from the play/ball. We have two different Blocks In The Back. The 10 yarder is for tactical reasons and is flagged if the block happens at the point of attack, and the 15 yarder is flagged for safety reasons, and is "almost always" flagged.
