Hand part of the ball?

[u2_i2_9]

Is this still in the rule book?

[SamIAm]

Yes.
100% sure in all basketball rulebooks.

(If it is not in the rulebook, I don't consider it basketball)

[u2_i2_9]

Anyone have the rule #?

[JRutledge]

The hand is not apart of the ball. That would be hard to dribble or shoot, would it not?

The rule simply says any contact with the hand while the touching the ball is not to be ruled illegal contact.

I don't belive it's in the fiba rulebook until somebody sticks the exakt rule number up under my nose, then I might consider it being there. But I think it would be a printing error:/

nah, I'm sure the ball isn't a part of the hand. if it is, prove it to me

[Adam]

So is it a foul under fiba for a defender to slap the hand while it is on the ball?

yes, at least when I'm officiating the game...
it's not illegal to slap the ball when in contact with the hand though. (if it were, I don't see how we were to block shots in any easy way) I belive how ever once upon a time before my short basketball playing and officiating started, it was illegal to slap at the ball when it still had contact with the hand during a shot. I can't swear on it though since I wasn't around to know

Nobody cares whether it's in the FEEBLE rule book or not.

Exactly. They don't sell balls with hands attached to them.

No foul if the contact on the hand on the ball is ruled accidental or incidental.

NFHS rules 4-24-2 and 10-6-1.

[BillyMac]

The hand is considered part of the ball when the hand is in contact with the ball. This includes holding, dribbling, passing, or even during a shot attempt. Striking a ball handler or a shooter on that player's hand that is incidental to an attempt to play the ball is not a foul, no matter how loud it sounds or how much it hurts.
