Hand checking

[zeedonk]

We have our interpretation meeting this week (for cadets). I'm sure this issue will come up. Our various mentors have said a lot of the same that has been discussed here- "east/west", "advantage/disadvantage", "two hands", "one hand", "directing the dribbler" etc...

I have been trying to stay in a position where I can see through the players and be right on top of the play, so if I have a call, I'm not across the court. So far, I've been going with the hybrid of "adv/disadv"/"directing the dribbler" theory. If I see two hands, I'll get it immediately (at least I like to think I do...)

If our interpreter says "No hands" then that's what I'll do this year- but I'll pregame it and bark about it to coaches and players as much as I can... so they know...

Describing the rule seems to be like describing pornography (not that they are the same!) -> you know it when you see it.
