ICBW, but I think there was an interpretation a few years back that said any touching of an opponent with a hand was supposed to be called as a foul.

You're absolutely right -- you really could be wrong.

I'm not even sure that's right, JR. I think the POE said that placing a hand on the dribbler and leaving it there was a foul. Or repeatedly "measuring up". I don't think merely touching the dribbler was mentioned as an automatic foul.

You are correct.

Oh?
Can either of you tell me in what year's NFHS POEs I might find those statements? I can find the following in POEs going back to the 2000-01 rule book, but I can't seem to find anything anywhere remotely resembling your assertations above.
2001-02 NFHS Rule Book- POE 4A-
verbatim-
"Defenders are not permitted to have hands on the DRIBBLER".
2002-03 NFHS Rule Book- POE 4A-
verbatim-
"Defenders are not permitted to have hands on the DRIBBLER".
2003-03 NFHS Rule Book- POE2A5-
verbatim-
"Regardless where it takes place on the floor, when a player CONTINUOUSLY places a hand on the OPPOSING PLAYER, it is a foul.".
I await elucidation.
