Carrying
I think more and more we are seeing players that have a tendency to put their hand on the side of the ball and sort of roll the ball back over as part of their "natural?" dribble. I feel like this is okay as the ball doesn't necessarily "come to rest" in the palm.
What I do call is when the ball comes to rest in the palm with the hand "under" the ball as described by rule. I will also call when the ball comes to rest against the hand with the hand on the "side" of the ball as force is applied when the dribbler changes direction of the ball. This is an illegal tactic that gains an advantage over the defense.
I hope this helps.
