Friend eventually called a double foul as defender had his knee up players behind. Seems like the right call to end jostling underneath.

A team control hold call may be in order? Anyone ever have this call?

My question is, I see it from time to time. How to call it.
Advantage disadvantage? Early on, "knock it off" verbal warning? Typical play seems to be arms back and defender trying to push through or throw A aside

HTBT probably applies but thought I'd toss it out there.
It's holding / hooking and is called / judged the same way as any other action that impedes movement.
