If hitting the dribbler's hand causes the ball to go out of bounds, then it is not incidental contact, and therefore a foul.
However, I'm not going to call a foul. As far as I'm concerned, I saw B hit it OOB, and I'm awarding the ball to A. I suspect that in practice, most of you are going to call it that way as well.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
BTW, can we add "The hand is part of the ball" to the list of rules myths?
