handchecking

[JRutledge]

But there is a difference. A defender can touch a dribbler and not have fouled yet. If you warn you can get them aware that they have potential for a foul. It is no different than post play. Stop it by voice if you can, but if you cannot, use the whistle.

IMHO, there should be no warning given before calling a handcheck. Do we warn before calling a block? Foul is a foul. Get it early, they will adjust...
