Despite the wishy-washy banter of some here in the past, we all know when a player is trying to embellish the contact and make it look like there was more contact than there really was. It really isn't that hard to tell.

All that needs to be done is to determine if a player was knocked backwards (even if he let himself be knocked backwards) vs. throwing himself backwards.
