To curtail hand-checking, officials must address it at the beginning of the game, and related personal fouls must be called consistently throughout the game. Some guidelines for officials to use when officiating hand-checking:
a. When a defensive player keeps a hand or forearm on an opponent, it is a personal foul.
b. When a defensive player puts two hands on an opponent, it is a personal foul.
c. When a defensive player continually jabs by extending his arm(s) and placing a hand or forearm on the opponent, it is a personal foul.
APPENDIX III OFFICIATING GUIDELINES BR-167
- Points of Emphasis for Women Displacement
2. DISPLACEMENT AS IT RELATES TO THE BALL HANDLER OR DRIBBLER
The following guidelines must be followed by players and called by officials:
a. Incidental contact of the hand shall not be called a foul, however if the arm is straight (no bend in the elbow) or holding, pushing or displacement occurs a foul shall be called. Continual or continuous use of the hand on the ball handler or dribbler is not permitted and a foul shall be called.
b. The arm-bar (forearm that is away from the body) may not have contact with the ball-handler/dribbler. A defender that has contact with the dribbler with the arm-bar in any way shall be called for a personal foul.
c. Any displacement by either the defense or the offense shall be a foul. Contact resulting in displacement either with the hands or body is a foul.
d. Adribbler may not “back-down” and displace the defender once that defender has established a legal guarding position.
e. Players may attain a position where their bodies are touching momentarily, however any attempt to displace an opponent from a position she has legally obtained is a personal foul.

So let's see...the Men's rule says "keeps a hand on" but the Women's rule says "continual use of the hand"...Men's rule talks about the "forearm on the opponent" while the Women's rule calls it an arm bar...Men's rule says "continually jabs" while the Women's rule says "continual or continuous use of the hands"...so contrary to what was stated in an earlier post, there is NO difference between the way NCAAM and NCAAW want the handcheck called. The only difference is that in their POE's NCAAW lumped each POE under the overall category of Displacement and so they added wording to the effect that neither the ballhandler nor the defender may displace each other...that does not mean the handcheck rules are different between the two...
