It means to have your hand on a player and thus inhibit their movement. The hand check was once used to actually slow a player down. Thus slowing down the pace of the game. That's the NBA got rid of this rule.

It just means to hold your hand in front of you when on defense and keeping it slightly on the offensive player to get a feel for what direction he or she might be going.
