off ball hand checking again

[rainmaker]

I would like to interject a point here, that this is not a foul on the ball-handler only. Hand-checking CAN occur against an opponent without the ball, although it is much less common. I like Chuck's "SBQ". These can apply equally as well to someone who is trying to receive a pass, as to someone who is trying to pass or shoot. And remember that nothing in the way the rule is written implies that it applies only to the play against the ball-handler.
