NF Rule 10.6.1
SECTION 6 CONTACT
"ART. 1 . . . A player may NOT use the forearm and hand to prevent an opponent from attacking the ball during a dribble or when throwing for goal. "
I disagree with the 2 answers you have received so far. If an offesive player is using the left forearm to protect the ball while dribbling with the right hand, contact is the responsibility of the dribbler and is a PC foul. Not calling this provides a great illegal advantage to the dribbler by preventing the defense the opportunity for a steal.
