If the hold happens after the pass is thrown, and the pass is obviously away from the hold, then my flag will probably stay in my pocket, unless the contact rises to the level of a personal foul.

Substantial benefit of the doubt, however, will be given in the direction of "throw the flag".
Agreed. I would have my wing or ump follow up with some sort of dialect with the offender and mention that the same maneuver will be penalized next time. They get a clear signal that you're seeing everything...IMO, and probably will not attempt it again.
