Well it is pretty obvious someone is not trying to block you when they are not looking at you. This has also been illustrated in the comic book as well. It is really not that hard to tell the difference as people like to make it out to be. But the problem are the fact that coaches think that they can hit anyone that is in front of them and that part is the hardest part to overcome as an official when you call an "obvious" foul on a defender. Heck you have coaches that think any contact is OK under all kind of silly situations.
Peace
