Thanks for the POE, Bob, and I agree whole-heartedly that on a drive to the basket, that's what you do...was this play really a drive to the basket? The way the hand-checking POE's have always been explained to me is that it applies to the player who starts outside and drives to the basket...a one-dribble drop step or spin move, after the player has picked up their dribble??? Shouldn't be a hand-check call then, should it??
