For all intents and purposes, short of a player punching another player's hand, I don't ever see an official not thinking a hit on the hand is incidental.

Well, I don't either. But, this is a judgment call. He's telling us that he intends to smack the hand hard. So, if we judge properly, this is now a foul.
