Let's pose this question....If this play were to happen where defense commits the following on a player who was working around a teammates screen and the defense is trying to stay with thier man..
A)grabbed a handful of the jersey
B) grabbed a handful of wrist
Are we going to call these intentional or just a common holding foul?

I agree with you (I think).
If the offensive player is closere to the basket than the defensive player, and the defensive player reaches out and grabs the jersey from behind to stop a breakaway, then it's an intentional foul.
If the offensive player is going past the defensive player, and the defensive player "reaches" (as the coaches like to say) instead of playing good defense by moving the feet and in doing so happens to grab the jersey, then it's a common foul.
