In reality, the five categories of fouls overlap a lot.

Essentially, a handcheck could also be classified as either a hold, illegal use of hands, or a push. Before a couple of years ago, there was no handcheck foul, yet all of the same contact situations were covered by existing fouls. It was added only to increase awareness and put emphasis on this particular type of foul.
