Handchecking?
Got into an interesting rules discussion with my assigner recently. He doesn't call handchecks. Not because he doesn't think it's a foul, but because handchecking doesn't exist in the rule book.
Now you know I don't get too tightly wound about terminology, but it turns out he's right. I can't find the word anywhere. But we've got a signal for it. I don't think there's much disagreement about what handchecking is. But there's no rule that defines it. Weird. |

Interesting....
I love this call...It's absolutely my favorite call to make....I know it pisses off players who THINK they are playing some LOCKDOWN D.....Stupid defenders want to slow the dribbler with a hand on hip and drive them here or there....Not on my court baby! :D The best part is the kid who picks up his first foul of the game on one of those...I'll instruct him to keep his hands off the defender...he'll acknowledge me...next trip down...TWEET...same thing as the first....and then by halftime he's got 3 fouls for the same dumb thing...Now the coach is getting in the kid's ear "You see the ref is not letting you handcheck, why do you do it!? :mad: " |

He won't just pass on it. He'll call a hold or a push, depending on what the defender actually does.

Perhaps I'll just politely agree to disagree. :)

You and your assignor may want to re-read 10-6-2 and 10-6-3.:rolleyes:

Unfortunately the word "handcheck" does not appear in those articles. And past POE's using the term "handcheck" don't count because they're ....well...<b>past</b> POE's and aren't in the current rulebook.Therefore, "handchecks" do not exist. Of course, that means that Signal #30 denotes nothing, but that's OK too. Logic does not exist in this particular assignor's little world either. |
Oh good gravey! Before we had the dang signal for handchecking, I just used the pushing signal and still do about 97% of the time.

Hand Checking
Ball-Handler / Hand-Checking
Two hands on the ball-handler is a foul. Automatic. One hand that stays on the dribbler is a foul. Remember RSBQ. If the dribbler’s Rythym, Speed, Balance, or Quickness are affected, we should have a hand-checking foul. |
