When I say guidelines, I meant the use of hands. So let me ask again. What are the guidelines, if any, on what you can do with your hands in the post and anywhere else on the court?

Are you serious? Why did we just waste our time posting them and also telling you where to find them?

In TN's defense, I think he is probably asking if the FED or NCAA issues bulletins or supplements to the rules that give precise examples of actions that MUST be called a foul. The NBA supplements its rulebook with examples of "guideline fouls". These are directives that take the judgment out of certain situations for officials.
This is what Bob described in the women's game. "Two of anything" is a foul. That way when you go to Trail and the coach yells, "She didn't even push her!", you can honestly say, "Two hands is a guideline foul, Coach. It's automatic."
My guess is that TN was asking if the FED or NCAA puts out such a supplement with a list of plays like this. The FED does not; NCAAM does not, to the best of my knowledge; NCAAW used to, but I don't know the current situation.
