The answer is one hand, In my case if the goalie has any part of his/her body touching the ball ie, legs , side, back, as far as I am concern they have possesion. If the players are trying to kick the ball while goalie is trying to control, I blow the whistle and signal the goalie to punt the ball. In the eight years that I Ref Soccer I had no injury goalie.
Also if any player strikes the goalie while running in order to try to reach the ball, I immediatly yellow card, and if in my opinion it is reckless and out of control, then I red card them. This fall in the playing the player rather than the ball Rule.. hope this help
