Ed: I would go to 2-3-5b to start with. The associated note talks about "deception", but if there is no "deception" involved and a defender just tackles a pitchman or intended screen receiver, then in my book it's clearly a defensive holding/illegal use of hands foul. I suppose you could also call it an illegal block, since that's the definition I'm working from. Illegal "blocks" generally aren't thought of as a product of the defense, but in this case, maybe that fits.

Good question. I'll be interested to see what others say.
