The OP begs a question: how do you know he's only stopping the clock? Is he doing something different than the other times he's handchecked during the game?


1. You've called several "hand checks" where the defender put two hands on ball handler.
2. End of game sitch, rather than foul, he puts his hands on the back of the ball handler (perhaps remembering you've called this a foul all game).
3. You can tell by looking at him (maybe he immediately looks to you to make a call when doing it) that he's only doing it to stop the clock and isn't even trying to play actual defense.

What's your call?
