Very simple for me.

Does the contact put the ball handler at a disadvantage? If the ball handler is directed, restricted or displaced in any way, I have a foul. If the dribbler can still do what they want to do, I do not have a foul. The most common situation where I do not have a foul if a dribbler can still get to the basket or around the defender with slight contact with the hand. I will try to let that go. It really does not take a lot of contact to cause some type of direction or displacement to have a foul.

Peace
