When I was taught to box, a hook was thrown with the lead hand. Any shot thrown with the rear (power) hand was by definition not a hook, as to produce the same (i.e., "hooking") motion you'd have to totally square your feet up, & thus risk getting your head removed from your shoulders.
Yeah squaring up is bad in some situations but there is one place it's not and that's in close. You'd have your head resting on their chest or by the side of their head where it's safe then you can throw hooks with both hands.
