If its in the post and he has hands on him, I don't think that's what I would determine a "hand check".

That would simply be a foul, offensive or defensive.

A hand check would be as you had stated above, out front and it has to be a foul simply because it gives the defense an advantage.

But in the post, I see players all the time grabbing their opponent and pushing their opponents. Its either a foul or not.

Thanks
