As previously posted, incidental contact that's related to trying to play the ball is not deemed a foul. A player/shooter can still be fouled "on the hand" if the contact is severe enough.

Wrong, Mark.
The rule is already in this thread, severity plays no part on the call per rule.

It is posted earlier but Mark is correct. It says "incidental" contact is allowed. Contact with the hand that causes a player to loose control of the ball isn't incidental; it has a large impact on play.

No, it says CONTACT INCIDENTAL TO PLAYING THE BALL, not incidental contact. That means hitting the hand while in contact with the ball is like hitting the ball.
