Appendix III (edited to deal with this scenario)

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.
