They are in close quarters, but there's no hold there.

Look at the 24-25 second mark. Arm wraps around, hand on the back, almost touching the number.

Arms from both players come together at the moment of the push off. Offensive foul.

If the "hold" is so bad - call the hold.

This game reminded me of a private conversation I had this winter in a High School gym while working a game...

Veteran official "observing" my game: "Are they paying your partner?"
Me: "Sure, why wouldn't they?"
Vet: "He hasn't made a call other than OOB all night."

That was the whole point.
