When there's "over the back" goin' on, I try to determine if it was a push, or if it was a hold. Often times on a rebound, the person behind hooks his arm over the person in front, preventing them from their vertical movement upwards. That should be a hold, not a push.
Just a ticky tack observation and not completely related to this post, but I do agree with the held ball as stated above. Sometimes, when two players go for the rebound, they both have the ball cleanly, then they come down, still both holding the ball, but someone is underneath the other. Looks to many like it should be a foul, but the held ball is a good call there.
