1. If the defender places his hand on the dribbler and leaves it there, it is a foul.
2. If the defender places two hands on the dribbler, it is a foul.
3. If the defender uses his hand to "re-route" the dribbler, it is a foul.
4. If the defender places a forearm on the dribbler, it is a foul.
5. If the defender uses "hot stove" touches on the dribbler, it is a foul.
We have been specifically advised that the former practice of ignoring a hand on a dribbler who is moving east/west should be discarded.
