Even with the two hands, I would advise looking at the amount of contact. It's not just the method, but the intent/result. If it is a two-handed nudge, you probably still got nuthin' (in my book - going on sale soon!). If you have a two handed shove that looks like more than an attempt to gain advantage, you gotta call it. This is beyond a mere rebounding foul.

But you're right, this is something I am certain you will get the proper feel for with time, especially since you know enough to ask. And as you watch games on TV (or in person) watch the game from a refs prespective. I now try to do the same, only as a coach from a coach's perspective, watch and think about the adjustments I might make during a game that I am not coaching, understand what the teams are trying to accomplish on offense and defense, watch for individual responses to particular game situations, etc.
