I disagree it is always a foul. What if the ball handler never moves anywhere and all you have is a defender touching the player? I give less leeway with two hands on a ball handler, but that does not mean I will stop a play as a result. I might just let the play finish and award a shooting foul instead. I do not think we should be so quick to call a handcheck just because players are touching each other. So times the defender gets completely beat and nothing happens.
