Unfortunately, a good number of my partners call this sort of play a held ball.

Thanks for all the helpful answers.
but sorry, I just realized my quote of "from a unreasonable position" might be misleading. The case I have in mind is not the opponent from hehind and 'bearhugged the ball holder. I was asking the case that the both players face each other, but the ball holder's stance makes it clear the ball is impossible to be taken without taking the player with it.
Your answers would be the same, right?
Thanks.

See rockyroad's answer - wait until there's contact that gains an advantage/puts someone else at a disadvantage, THEN call a foul.
