chicken wing?

Talked with an official friend who had a big game last night and was approached by coach to look out for an opposing player who 'chicken wings' down low. Never heard that term before. Offensive player has defender on his back and extends arms back virtually locking him in. IMHO a tough call to make if pressure isn't much on defender. 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.
