Classifications of Holds

So I'd like to get back to my original question. If you don't technically see the hand grab the jersey and have a situation such as this one I described what do you have?

I asked a college official and he said if you don't actually see the grab even though you're certain a hold occurred, keep the hankie in the pocket. You guys agree?

If you see a definite restriction, and the only way it happened was a hold and if it was at the point of attack, then call a hold. Just because you couldn't actually "see" his hands doesn't mean you couldn't see what his hands did as a result of the opponents movements. In that case you have a flag on the ground.
