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.

And what I hate, is the reaction out front when the offensive player pushes off the defender. Maybe a double foul in such an instance? I probably just need to be more diligent out front with hand check calls where it seems to occur most often.
