This seems excessive in almost every case. I think a warning or two about hands off and a couple of quick ones cleans it up.

It is a lot easier if the kids getting hand checked are trying to attack forward to score instead of playing side to side waiting for screening action/cutters. The foul is when the player tries to break down the d and the handcheck persists, if people were attacking and forcing them to play good positional defense its not as much of an issue. If you are just going to swing the ball and dribble side to side 30 feet from the rim for 20+ seconds then its easier for refs to not see a disadvantage.
