handchecking

[vhslref]

I recently worked my first D3 game. One of the things mentioned was hand-checking. The 2 other guys I was working with are calling D1. They said the NCAA is really pushing handchecking and post-play. This year they are giving the defender one-touch to size-up or measure-up the offense. (This is in a non-dribbling situation.) Once the offense has begin to dribble, any hand that is on the dribbler for more than two dribbles should be called. On post-play: the defense may use a forearm on the offense, but they must have palm down or closed fist. Two of anything ( arm and leg or knee, two hands) must be called. I hope I explained myself clearly, if not I'll try again.
