I think that it is more of a case that refs who actually call the hand-checking the way it is written and should be enforced get in trouble with their assignors. Coaches call and complain that the official is "calling too many fouls that don't have an impact on the play" and the officials get the dreaded call from the supervisor. So the next game, they let that handchecking go...
Coaches yell and scream for us to call handchecks on their opponent, but when we call it on them they yell and scream that it is ticky-tack (or whatever word they use).
So some of us have adopted the NCAA-W interp into our HS games...
