While I do agree with some statements, it is clearly a foul on B if he slaps A's hand when it is on the ball. If B does slap A's hand and everyone hears it you would call a foul. So why not call the foul when there is contact and only you hear it, it is still a foul. That is not good defense when A controlls the ball and B gets controll by hitting my hand.

The rule does not say that in fact it says the exact opposite. If you are going by sound, you are guessing. There are plenty of times when a defender will clap their hands on a shot attempt. I've seen defenders hit their teammates arm playing a shot, and that makes a slapping sound too. Michael Jordan used to hit his own arm when he turned his body and did a reverse layup.
You ref by sound and you'll be wrong most of the time.

Did you read R10-6-1, Al? You're completely wrong on the concept used for this one.
