I have never seen "hand check" used except with respect to a dribbler, in rule or case. I think that you can have a hold or a push off the ball, not a hand check. A foul nonetheless, but I think that people may have issues if they try to call a hand check off the ball.

FWIW: In our area, it is not uncommon to see (call) a handcheck on a "non-ballhandler". I agree with RecRef... A push is easier to sell but I call handchecks frequently and with little disagreement from the coaches. Perhaps they are not concerned with (or pay attention to) the specific mechanic used to signal which foul was called.

Not hard at all....

Pass me another brown pop. Now that my friend is a "one hand hold."
