We all knew that there was no such "real violation" as carrying or palming. Carrying or palming is not found anywhere in Rule 9 Violations. It was either an illegal dribble, or a travel. The carrying/palming signal was just a communication tool.
So Raymond, and possibly others, knew that "palming" only describes an illegal dribble violation, and that "carrying" only describes a travel violation? And it can't be vice versa?
I must have been absent that day in referee class.
Never heard that before (forty years for me). One really does always learn something new every day.
