What I've been watching for is forward or sideways control. If the ball bounces hard, but the hand is directly above and not very high, the ball can push pretty long against the hand, but to me that's not palming. However, if the ball moves sideways, or forward during that time, or the hand rotates it's position on the ball, that gets pretty borderline. I think of the hand like that old (dinosaur-era) computer game called Pong. There was that little cursor that had to contact the ball. Control is the point, but the contact needs to be not much longer than how long the cursor used to toucht he ping-pong ball. Remember a dribble is a bat or a hit, not a throw.
