The word(s) hand-check do not appear in the rule book. It only appears in one place in the case book.
10.6.1F. Play: A1 begins a drive toward the basket with a quick dribble and step to evade B1. B1 momentarily hand checks A1 and forces A1 to take a wider approach. Ruling: A hand-checking foul on B1. Even though the contact was only momentary it did give B1 an opportunity to get into better position and forced A1 to take a different route toward the basket.
