No, but disadvantage does need to occur. Disadvantage can come in many forms. Basically they amount to didplacement and impediment. If a player is displaced or impeded from doing legal actions, there is a foul. Thus, a hand check is a foul if it disrupts balance or slows (holding is a good call here, too) the offensive player's movements.
