Wrong again. Call it a couple of times each way in the first quarter and you've cleaned it up for the rest of the game.

4. ROUGH PLAY
A. Hands off
Defenders are not permitted to have hands on the dribbler!
The measuring up of an opponent (tagging) is hand-checking, is not permitted, and is a FOUL.
Use of a forearm, regardless of the duration of the contact is a FOUL.
Hand checking is not incidental contact; it gives a tremendous advantage to the person illegally using their hands.
Funny how I don't see the word "displacement" mentioned.
