Hand-checking can inhibit the free movement of the offensive player in ways that are not always obvious from an official's perspective due to the distance and size of the hands.

I would have to disagree with you there. The NF in their POE a few years back suggested there had to be displacement. And the NCAA always talks about (Men's side) displacement in their bulletins.
