How often do you really see a defender manage to turn around and put both hands on a ballhandler
after that ballhandler has beaten him and gotten completely
past him? In my experience, the only time that it does happen the defender is gonna use those two hands to either push the ballhandler off balance from behind or grab his shirt from behind. And if that's done from behind on a ballhandler with a clear path to the basket, then I agree that an intentional foul call would be appropriate.
You might have a patient whistle if it's merely a two-handed touch from behind on a ballhandler with a clear path to the basket. I can't remember though actually seeing a defender reaching out and just touching a ballhandler from behind with both hands without doing something additional with the touch. Of course, I don't get out that much.
