There is no "illegal use of the hands" either. Chances are, when someone wants a reach, it's because they think there's a "hack" on the dribble. No contact, no foul. That's why we cringe when we hear someone cry for a call for a "reach." There's nothing wrong with reaching anywhere, if you don't make contact.
The call is generally a "hack," but sometimes a "hold." But never a "reach."
In Iowa, we used to have 6 on 6 girls basketball, in which players were not allowed to cross half court. One quirky rule was that each player was only allowed to dribble the ball twice. Two bounces, and that was it. Another rule was that the defense could not touch the ball if it was in the offensive player's hands (unless she was in the lane, then it was fair game.) I believe the call for this was "illegal use of the hands," but I'm not sure.
