My Own Philosphy On Hand Checking ...

Defender places both hands on a ball-handler, it is a foul.
Defender continuously places a hand on the ball-handler, it is a foul.
Defender continuously jabs a hand or forearm on a ball-handler, it is a foul.
If the dribbler’s rhythm, speed, balance, or quickness are affected, we should have a hand-checking foul.

Also. If dribbler's going east/west, less likely to call a hand check.
Conversely. If dribbler's going north/south, more likely to call a hand check.

And finally, advantage/disadvantage must be considerd in the case of hand checks.

This is not always an easy call.
