Based on the new laws for handball, It USUALLY is.

It is usually an offence if a player:
•touches the ball with their hand/arm when:
•the hand/arm has made their body unnaturally bigger
•the hand/arm is above/beyond their shoulder level (unless the player deliberately plays the ball which then touches their hand/arm)

I mentioned this earlier in the thread. This has been one of the few things they have called pretty consistently. What does "unnaturally bigger" mean? YMMV.
