And this is why all hand checking is not called and never will be and probably shouldn't be.
If a player has his hand on a ball handler, are we calling a foul or waiting a beat to see how the ball handler reacts to the hand? Then once the player passes the ball or beats the defender, we have no reason to call the foul.
A quick hand-checking whistle accomplishes what? It stops the game unnecessarily and in some cases deprives the offense of a chance to beat the defender and score an easy basket.
