The NFHS puts this out pretty much every year so obviously they don't feel we're getting right as often as we should. If we get them early, the kids figure it out. If they don't figure it out, they sit. Most figure it out.

A. Handchecking/Body Fouls.

1.Tactics using the hands, arms or body that permit any player (offense or defense) to "control" (hold, impede, push, divert, slow or prevent) the movement of an opposing player is a foul.
2.When an offensive player uses the hands or body to push off for position or spacing to get open or receive a pass, or to move the ball via pass or dribble, it is a foul.
3."Hooking" by an offensive player is a distinct advantage. This tactic is not worthy of a warning and should be ruled a foul without hesitation.
4.Any illegal use of hands, arms or body (offense or defense) that slows, prevents, impedes the progress or displaces an opposing player due to the contact, is a foul and must be called.
5.Regardless of where it takes place on the court, when a player continuously places a hand on the ball handler/dribbler, it is a foul.
6.When a player jabs a hand(s) or forearm on an opponent to control his or her movement or gain an advantage, it is a foul.

My main thing is keep a defender's hands off the dribbler as much as possible. Once the kids realize that's what's being called, they adjust and IMO the game is much cleaner.
