For the record there are more hand checking calls in NCAA and NBA (even more in the NBA) than I see in HS games. I also would not really care what my partner has been calling either as I would have a foul regardless if the continuous hand made the defender do something they would not have done.

And under NCAA guidelines, it is illegal to have a continuous hand on a ball handler. So the travel should not be called IMO.
