so when will a illegal contact be called when the defender hits the ball handler's hand in contact with the ball to steal the ball, since the ball is part of hand rule still applies & it is ok to hit the hand that is in contact with the ball.
or indeed it's ok to slap the hand the ball is on as hard as you want?
if a person goes for a layup or shot, it's ok to slap the hand holding the ball as hard as possible to block the shot?
