When there's "over the back" goin' on, I try to determine if it was a push, or if it was a hold. Often times on a rebound, the person behind hooks his arm over the person in front, preventing them from their vertical movement upwards. That should be a hold, not a push.

Just a ticky tack observation and not completely related to this post, but I do agree with the held ball as stated above. Sometimes, when two players go for the rebound, they both have the ball cleanly, then they come down, still both holding the ball, but someone is underneath the other. Looks to many like it should be a foul, but the held ball is a good call there.

As described in the OP, you should call 'held ball'. When play forms like that, anticipate the action that will come, then you can be on top of it when it happens. If that ball was in firm grasp for those 1-2 moments, kill it with a held ball. Both coaches will know to thank you later by you attempting to keep each of their player's out of a foul trouble.
