The Blue Goggles comment shows the weakness of your argument
You clearly don't know much about BBall rules or officiating the game. An offensive player is allowed to put his hands on a defender as long as he does not push off. A defender by rule is not allowed to put his hands on an offensive player, especially when an offensive player is attempting to move or make a cut.

Here is the link to the video of the play; http://www.cougarboard.com/board/message.html?id=13337120

In the video you will see Tyler attempting to make a cut and the defender has an arm bar across Tyler's chest preventing him from getting into a position to receive the basketball. That is the very definition of holding by the defender.

It is simple advantage/disadvantage. The defender by putting his forearm across Tyler's chest has gained a clear advantage over Tyler. With his forearm across Tyler's chest he can control Tyler's movements and prevent him from getting to where he wants to go.

An example of good D is when the defender keeps his arm extended away from the body so there is no doubt he is not using his hands or arms to gain an advantage.
