I can only give my own opinion on this because I think every official may explain it alittle different.I call hand checking when a defensive player places a hand on another player and moves them or forces them to go the direction the defense wants them to.Now thats pretty simple and there are other times to call hand checking like when the offensive player is driving to the basket and "B" pushes "A" with a hand on the hip.For me the judgement comes in when you have to decide when a hand is just touching a hip or actully pushing.
