The key is to judge whether the contact was incidental to an attempt to play the ball. If he only hits the hand, I'm not likely to see it anyway. If the hand is on the ball, the two are indistinguishable in real speed, as well as by rule.

If, for whatever reason, you can judge the player purposefully struck the hand and wasn't trying to play the ball, you could conceivably still call a foul.
