Yet, whenever this high dribble occurs I have sometimes seen my partner(s) calling a "carry" [and of course the unlearned fans will always yell carrying and sometimes you can see them stand up in their seats and demonstrate a bona fide "carrying the ball" demonstration as they voice their displeasure when I don't call this a violation--which ironically (and humorously) their demonstrative action does not match the actual dribble that occurred]. Additionally, I have seen my partners sometimes succumb and [mistakenly] call a "carrying" violation here.
If any of you have dealt with this or a similar scenario, how do you deal with the issue of partners who call this ghost violation?

#1, know the rule, and pregame it if it's commonly called wrong in your area.
#2, use more commas in your posts, and avoid those [ and ] symbols. I actually had to search for where those were on my keyboard. Parenteses symbols will do. I guess if you only use commas.
