carldog,

Let me say this, if you want to be successful or you want to work a high caliber of basketball, you better have some displacement to before you make that call. If you do not, then you can call a foul every time a defender touches a ball handler. I disagree with Tony's assessment of what the NF wants. At least in the literature I have read they make it clear that displacement is apart of that foul call. And as a philosophy I want some displacement to determine whether this is a foul or not. I am used to doing games with a lot of decent ball handlers. I think you should let a play develop before you make that call. I would rather allow an easy lay-up or a shooting foul than a hand check call away from the basket and the ball out of bounds.

Peace
