Not saying it's wrong, but it's now how I usually see it called and it's not how I personally see the rule. Especially considering that as the player picks up the ball, the handcheck usually stops and the defenders hands go up (or into the arms for another form of shooting foul  )

We call this one when it penalizes the defense the most. And BigWhistle is correct. It then becomes a push, not a hand check.
