Similarly, I've had situations that started with a player holding the ball high above their head, and a defensive player grabs on to the ball while standing behind the player with the ball. Player holding the ball brings the ball down to belly level, resulting in this "held ball hug" as you call it.
I'm quick to call a held ball at this point, and this often results in the person who originally had the ball asking why it's not a foul. I tell them that any additional contact that occurred at that point was caused by THEM bringing the ball down.
