The interpretation guidelines suggest the article is not quite correct
Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with
the ball with his hand or arm. The referee must take the following into
consideration:
? the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)
? the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)
? the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an
infringement
? touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard, etc.)
counts as an infringement
? hitting the ball with a thrown object (boot, shinguard, etc.) counts as an
infringement
