Yes.
100% sure in all basketball rulebooks.

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

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.

Peace

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

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

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.

Misunderstood Basketball Rule ...

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.

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

Crazy,

I think you're right about the rulebook. But here in Canada, every official that I've worked with uses the same principle as our American friends. The hand is part of the ball, figuratively speaking.

I would be curious as to what is the official FIBA interpretation? I find it hard to believe that it would be a foul in International basketball to slap the hand of a player holding the ball. Then again, this is the same organization that says it not basket intereference for a defensive player to touch the ball by going through the bottom of the basket.

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

The best shot block involves a defender who maintains verticality and contacts the ball after it has left the shooter's hand, imo; defenders get into trouble by reaching into the shooter's space and attacking the ball before it is in the air.

The best shot block involves the defender coming back down with the ball. Where the ball is in relation to the shooter's hand when the defender gets it is irrelevant.

Blocked Shots ...

When I was a young lefthanded basketball player, back in the 20th century, Bill Russell, of the Boston Celtics, was my favorite player. Some claim that he revolutionized the blocked shot. Previous to Russell, shot blockers, and their fans, were pleased if the shot was simply blocked, even if it was blocked out of bounds, and went back to the opponents for a throwin, or even if it was blocked into the hands of an opponent, who scored. Russell always tried to block the shot so that he, as Snaqwells pointed out, would get the ball, or he would block the ball to a teammate, which would initiate the famous Celtic fast break attack. He hated it when he blocked a shot out of bounds. Russell claimed that because he was lefthanded, and because most opponents were righthanded shooters, he could easily mirror his opponent's movements and stay out of foul trouble. This knowledge would carryover into my coaching career (yes, I was on the dark side at one time), when I would teach my players to try to block shots coming from the right side with their left hand, and try to block shots coming from the left side with their right hand.
