That statement is completely wrong.

Here's the verbatim statement from NFHS POE's in 2001-02 and 2003-04--"Hand checking is NOT incidental contact. It gives a tremendous advantage to the person illegally using their hands."

And what could be clearer than the POE from the 2003-04?--"When a player places BOTH hands on an opposing player, it IS a foul."

Apparently there's more than one area that likes to ignore very, very specific POE's and Officiating Guidelines. As I said, imo that's sad.
