Does this mean hitting the hand after the ball is released is a foul?

such contact is only with the opponent's hand "WHILE IT IS ON THE BALL" not after it has left their hands [/B][/QUOTE]
It's not a foul to "high five" the shooter after the ball is gone UNLESS the contact puts the shooter at a disadvantage. If it messes up their landing or knocks them to the floor it is a foul, a minor slap is incidental contact.
