False. The hand is part of the ball as long as the ball is in a player's hands (NBA Ruleboook: Section incidental contact). Usually applies to blocks, but sometimes you may see referees not blow their whistles when you "slap" the ball away (you actually slap the hand...) from the opposing PG (Pat Beverley does it sometimes and gets away with it many times, although the INTENTION has to be...ball!).

Chase down block a la Hakeem Olajuwon vintage edition!
It's not counted as a foul because the intend of the offensive player is to dunk the ball.
Should have been a foul called on D-Mo...pause it at 00:24 as you can clearly see D-Mo's hand slapping Olynyk's. Oh well, I'll take it.
