Just explain to me if displacement cannot be apart of this rule, then when do we have it according to the NF?

No one has EVER stated that displacement is NOT a part of the rules.It most definitely is a PART of the rules(emphasis on "part").The statement that I am making is that hand-checking can ALSO be called without displacement being part of it. "Tagging" a player without displacing that player is a foul,according to the strictest interpretation of the NFHS rules. The particular rules that I quoted back that statement up.I am NOT saying that it SHOULD be called. I am saying that it CAN be called.
I hope that is cleared up now for you.
