I've seen one case of an illegal block in the back by a defender that I thought was absolutely a correct call.
It was during a college game and I was watching a B I knew work. His key went out on a short route and cut in front of the defender. The defender gave him a two handed shove in the back which knocked him down. Just as he went down the QB was releasing the pass to him which went incomplete.
The B flagged it and the R announced an illegal block in the back. It wasn't DPI nor was it illegal use of the hands because the receiver was still in front of the defender. I thought it was absolutely the right call.
I asked the B after the game if he would have called that if the pass hadn't gone to him just after. "Not in a million years."
