Displacement might not be the right word. It's pretty obvious that a defender could gain a big advantage against the dribbler without actually displacing him/her. If you think the defender is gaining an unfair advantage by using the hands, it's a foul. Think of a defender using hands to prevent a dribbling player from "turning the corner" on a drive. No displacement, but definitely a foul. The POE implies that in general, the NFHS believes that officials have been letting too much hand use go uncalled. The rule book can only go so far in describing a foul or it would become larger than a school text book.
