So... it is legal to place your cupped hand directly in front of his face, in front of his eyes (no contact) and obstruct his eye-sight.
No, this is not legal, at least not under NCAA rules. See the quoted rule 10-7.3 I posted above, which says that this is a direct (unsportsmanlike) technical foul. Someone with a NF rulebook will have to say whether there is a corresponding rule.
I only have the 02-03 NFHS Rules Book, but it states:

Player Technical/Unsporting Foul

10-3-ART 8,d Obstructing the vision of an opponent not in control of the ball by waving hands near his/her eyes.
