Someone had said something about not being able to carry or steer without putting the hand under or mostly on the side of the ball. I forget who it was but they were talking about gravity. What I was trying to say is that just because the hand is totally on TOP of the ball does not mean that it is not possible to carry the ball. Like I said, if you can palm the ball off the dribble, you can gain an advantage by palming the ball, causing a pause in the dribble. [/B]
You are correct. Just because the hand doesn't go past vertical doe not mean that the ball isn't being carried or palmed.
