Can anyone give me an idea of what to look for on a "carry"? I've seem some dribbling that borders on a carry.. Should I be looking at the thumb position on the ball? What are some of the things to watch?

Welcome to the forum, dguig. 
I look for the hand solidly under the ball (palm up)and the ball moving horizontally.
I look at the rhythm of the ball to see if it comes to a noticeable and total stop. (Not the law of gravity physics stop at the top of the bounce)
I look at an aggressive horizontal change of direction, to the side or backward, with a noticeable stop at mid bounce.

What do you mean that the laws of physics and gravity stop at the top of the bounce?
