Hands, hands, hands. His hand is on the offensive player and it never leaves. A call would clean up the mess that follows.

In this order here is what I have

1. Travel
2. Hand check
3. a flop. I think there is some embellishment on the part of the defender.

Travel then PC.

Just curious...Why would you have the travel BEFORE the hand check? Seems like that hand is on the bicep/shoulder of the ball handler, and exerting pressure from the looks of it, well before he steps back to get away from the contact.

For the record there are more hand checking calls in NCAA and NBA (even more in the NBA) than I see in HS games. I also would not really care what my partner has been calling either as I would have a foul regardless if the continuous hand made the defender do something they would not have done.

And under NCAA guidelines, it is illegal to have a continuous hand on a ball handler. So the travel should not be called IMO.

The question is whether the hand contact caused the travel, therefore resulting in a hand check foul. I could easily go with that.

The hand check did not cause the travel, in my opinion, but it doesn't have to to be a foul.

It did not CAUSE the travel in the sense that the defender did not push the ball handler backward. But did it CAUSE the travel in the sense that in order to start his move to the basket the ball handler had to step backward to get away from the illegal contact?

I just didn't understand why the previous poster would put the travel call ahead of the hand check call in his prioritized list of calls.

I suppose the argument could be made that there was no hand check foul to call. (minimal contact, no advantage gained, etc.) I don't see how anyone could say there was no travel.

That is an easy obvious travel. Also when the obvious hand check wasn't called, no way he was calling the obvious push off

This. A long, 3-second handcheck that actually pushes the offensive player back a bit.

But if the HC doesn't happen, then hell yes that's a PC.

So we don't think the travel was CAUSED by the HC? I do.

Literally LOL at this.

I don't see how anyone could say there was no advantage gained by a continuous push that forced the dribbler to travel.

The NCAA rule book when it comes to contact on the dribbler...
 
Appendix III (edited to deal with this scenario)

Quote:

Ball Handler or Dribbler
a. Definition. A ball handler or dribbler is any player with player control holding or dribbling) outside the lane area, either facing or with her back to the basket. An arm-bar is contact with the forearm that is away from the body.

b. Legal activity. The following are examples of legal activity:
1. A one hand “measure up” by the defense. This means, one hand (front or back of the hand) contacting the ball-handler/dribbler and immediately removing that hand. Also known as a “hot stove” touch. This is the ONLY hand contact that is legal by the defense and is considered incidental.

c. Illegal contact. A foul shall be called when:

2. The defender places a hand (front or back of the hand) on the ball-handler/dribbler and keeps it on.
3. The defender contacts the ball-handler/dribbler more than once with the same hand or with alternating hands.
Which is a long way of saying an actual push isn't necessary. If a defender leaves a hand on it's assumed (s)he is either pushing or holding.
