This is an example of a hand check foul. A defender cannot place two hands on a ball handler to illegally impede their progress or redirect them from their intended route. In this example, ball handler Red 8 drives through the elbow of the lane way when defender White 35 places both hands on the right shoulder of Red 8. The illegal contact impedes Red 8’s progress and redirects him away from his intended route down the middle of the lane way. This is a hand check foul by White 35 on Red 8.
