I agree, Rich.
If I am watching a closely defended ballhandler and see a handswipe near the face, I will need to see the reflexive reaction of the head snapping away in order to justify the immediate foul. Absent that response, I will stop play and allow the player to recover or to be replaced.

Just remember, if you stop the clock, the player must be replaced. He's not staying in the game unless the coach buys a timeout to keep him in.
