I think a patient whistle is a good way to settle this.

If A has the ball and is going up for a shot while B has their hands on the ball, watching the play all the way through to see if A can muscle through the potential held ball to get their shot off, then the official should let the play go on. However, if he/she can't play through it, a held ball should be called.
