Remember RSBQ. If the dribbler’s Rythym, Speed, Balance, or Quickness are affected,
we should have a hand-checking foul.
Now maybe that is a Women's college philosophy, but two hands on a ball carrier is not supported by anything I have ever seen on the HS or Men's college ranks. And if you always have a foul for two hands on a ball carrier, then calling the game in the post is going to bring a foul every single time. I would rather call a foul if someone is prevented from movement or directed by hands and arms. I would not call anything automatically unless it puts someone at a disadvantage or advantage for the defender.

Peace
