Handling after deflection

[bloovee]

I've lost track a bit of any guidance about handball based on body shape / position of arms when the ball deflects off a player's or opponent's body. Is there any official guidance beyond what's in law 12? (And when did it last change?)

IIRC, that game out of the Laws when they took out the list of “what ifs.” I can’t think of any formal guidance on it since then, but I think it is generally accepted that it is a factor in the process. We certainly see it considered in video review.
