How does everyone call their hand balls? The moment the ball ever touches a hand it is called? Only intentional as the rule states? Only if it effects the play?
As for the keeper and using his hands, we discussed at the March meeting about when it is a hand ball and when it isn't. What about if the keeper steps/slides out of the box, has the ball in his hands, but although his feet are out of the box, the ball is in. Hand ball?

I call my "handballs," the way the rule book states, and the only way they we should be calling them. When a player, other than the goalkeeper, intentionally makes a motion to handle the ball, and does so. After the player handles the ball, if the play permits, I wait the 3-5 seconds to see if the advantage develops. If not, I call the foul, and bring the ball back to the spot of contact for the DFK/PK. If, a player makes an intentional motion to handle the ball, and by handling the ball, stops a pass between two players, I typically caution the player for USB, situation and flow of the game permitting, obviously. When a player is in the penalty area, this logic doesn't change. The best example of that was an article at the old center in the referee room. I'm not sure it's there any longer. A defender was standing on the goal line, and an attacker took a shot. The ball struck the defenders hand on the goal line, thus preventing a goal. The FIFA referee saw the play clearly, and let play continue, as there was no intent to handle the ball. FIFA later backed up the decision made on the field.
As for the goalkeeper, we did discuss this at the meeting, regarding how much of the ball had to be in the pentalty area. As long as any of the ball is touching the line, the goalkeeper can handle the ball.
The position of the keepers body/feet or any other part of his body is irrelevant. So long as a part of the ball is touching the penalty area, the position of the goalkeepers body is not a factor in deciding whether or not it is a 'handball.'
Hope this helps!
