Sorry to be such a rookie here, but is this always true? Maybe I am letting baseball myths get in the way("the hand is NOT part of the bat"), but if a player slaps your hand while shooting, its not a foul? Where does your hand end? And this applies while dribbling, too?

John,see NFHS rules 4-24-2 and 10-6-1(2nd sentence). Definitely not a myth.Apllies on a shot,dribbling,holding,etc.
