In recent years, the annual OHSBVA State Rules Clinic has included guidance reminders for calling hands with consistency and "reasonability" with special awareness of levels of play and ball-handling skills on both sides of the court. This guidance has also been shared with OHSBVA coaches. The attachment above provides current best practices in calling hands.
