I can't find "reaching in" in the rule book or casebook. I know it's there lurking somewhere. Where????

Rule Book 4.23.2 states - It is legal use of hands to reach to block or slap the ball controlled by a dribbler or player throwing for goal or a player holding it and accidentally hitting the hand of the opponent when it is in contact with the ball.

It ain't reaching in, but it references the "myth."

Thanks. So there is, according to the NFHS, something called a "reach", but it's not illegal.
