Most Misunderstood Basketball Rules

[eagle221]

"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."

where do i find this in the nba rule book?

Rule 12, B. Personal Fouls,
Section I.

e. Contact which occurs on the hand of the offensive player, while that hand is in contact with the ball, is legal.

Hope I didn't miss this one somewhere is the post....
I put together a list of Top 25 misunderstood rules for my group a few years ago.
My # 1: There is no 3-second count between the release of a shot and the control of a rebound, at which time a new count starts.

This continues to be (in my opinion) the fan favorite call: "3 SECONDS"...when there is no team control.
