Travel or not?

I have a question about the "If the ball is in the hand, the hand is considered to be part of the ball," thing. If that is the case, then when someone goes to block a shot and contacts the hand as well, is there a foul or no call?

Matt,
In general practice, that play is a "no call". If the defender hits some of the wrist with the hand, it will probably be called as a foul.
If a defender hits the dribbling hand on the ball, that, too, is legal.
