Seriously though...I don't have a rule book present but its my understanding if a defender accidentically hits the hand of the dribbler while the dribbler's hand is in contact with the ball it is not a foul. Also, if you punch or slap me in the face or my hand TO ME I've been caused hardship BUT not sure if that's a rule of law I should follow since by rule you can accidentally slap my hand if I'm dribbling. If this doesnt' jive with the NFHS rules please advise.

Whether the player is dribbling or holding the ball, the defender may slap his hand provided the slap is incidental to an attempt to slap the ball. Dribbling vs holding is irrelevant.
Let's leave the punch out of it, as that's a flagrant foul regardless of advantage. Let's leave the face out of it, as I'm calling a slap in the face unless the dribbler is in the process of blowing by the defender for a layup. A slap on the hand is a slap on the hand, perfectly legal. A slap on the wrist that doesn't cause any hinderance to the offensive player is incidental contact most of the time. Same as a slap on the arm or leg. Now, in practice, we may have to get this sometimes in the open court.

After reading the responses, I think I should have let it go. Despite the loud slap, A1 was standing still, holding the ball (not dribbling), 80 feet from the basket.
A1 didn't lose control of the ball on the slap, thus not put at a disadvantage. A more patient whistle from me would have allowed us to play on. |

2) Bingo! Most but not all of the time it may not be a foul. But there are times when you still have to go and get it. There are situations where that slap on the wrist is no different than a slap in the face for all intents and purposes. 'Tis a funny game to have to call sometimes. It's awful tough to place absolutes on any particular genre of foul. Good points imo, Snaqs, and I certainly agree with you. |

I will not ever call a foul based on what I hear. I only call fouls on what I see. If the slap caused a disadvantage, then it should be called, not just because you hear skin coming together. And I do not agree about sending a message. I only call what I fell is illegal, not what I think is illegal because I "think" I hear something. What if the slap was while the ball was on the hand? That is not a foul according to the rules.
