I've had this a bunch in girls games. The problem with penalizing it is that you are essentially penalizing one girl for being stronger than the other, or for one not losing her balance while the other one did. While all situations are potentially different, USUALLY, both girls are still holding onto the ball. I tell them in our pregame, "if you hear the whistle, let go of the ball." If they don't and they get body slammed, well, maybe next time they'll let go.

Without something more -- like physical contact or taunting afterwards -- I'm not sure how you can make a T call on this play. I agree that certain situations could (possibly including the OP), but with nothing more than 4 hands on the ball and neither letting go, I've got nothing. I do, however, get in there and sternly warn them to keep themselves under control, hopefully preventing this the next time.
