As for a comparison between a blarge and a handcheck , there was at least a POE which directly stated: "....when a player continuously places a hand on the opposing player, it is a foul." "When a player places both hands on an opposing player, it is a foul."

That is great, but what do we do when it is not a POE? Where do we reference those rules?

I guess you have never seen 4.19.8 Situation C. Or is the casebook not a NF Publication?
