I've never gotten a definitive response either way. Here's the scenario:
Offensive player is dribbling with his back turned to the defender. Offensive player then picks up the dribble. While attempting to pass and with his back still turned, the defender proceeds to grab the ball from behind and pin it against the body (stomach/chest) of the offensive player.
Is this a foul or jumpball/choose situation?
Thanks for the help.

Ask yourself, is it possible to wrap your arms around someone from behind, without causing contact?
If the ball is above A1's head, held ball. If the tie up is from the front, A1 and B1 face to face, held ball.
From behind with B1 "hugging" A1 to get the ball, I have a foul.
