With younger teams, I have taught my players that when a defender is guarding with their arms around or over my player, my player should move through (arms around) or shoot (arms over) to make sure there is contact. Without contact, no foul. If younger players get intimidated by the "bear hug" without any contact, there is a coaching problem, not something for the officials to cure by touchless personal fouls getting called.
