The reason why I couldn't find a rule regarding "hand in face" was because I was looking in the "Personal Fouls" section of the NCAA rulebook.

However, under "Technical Fouls," Rule 10-5, Article 3 states that a direct technical fould for unsporting player conduct will be charged for "Purposely obstructing an opponent's vision by waving or placing hand(s) near his or her eyes."
Note that the HS rule is slightly different -- something like (I don't have the book with me) "obstructing the vision of a player about to receive a pass"
