I don't believe it's holding because the player hasn't used his hands, arms or legs to hook, lock, clamp, grasp, encircle or hold in an effort to restrain his opponent. He's simply lying on top of him.
9-4-2e does not involve "holding" but is rather a personal foul call. The examples given in the Case Book show the intent of this rule and it clearly doesn't apply here. It's the old "climb on my shoulders and block the kick" rule.
Good play.
