He simply would lay his hand on the players back and make a fist with the jersey in hand.
If the jersey was never pulled away from the body, I would certainly not have an intentional foul; and maybe not a foul at all. Hard to say without seeing it.

But I have called an intentional foul when a defensive player held the jersey of his opponent, preventing him from cutting to the strong side of the court. The defender wasn't even trying to move. He just stood on the block and held the other guy's shirt. It was almost comical as the offensive player tried to make his cut and just got pulled back. Almost.
