Note to Camron Rust: You may have missed the most recent changes that I made to #10 on my "Most Misunderstood Rules" handout:

10) (Recent Change) Palming or carrying is when a player gains an advantage when the ball comes to rest in the player's hand and the player either travels with the ball or dribbles a second time. There is no restriction as to how high a player may bounce the ball, provided the ball does not come to rest in a playerÂ’s hand. Steps taken during a dribble are not traveling, including several that are sometimes taken when a high dribble takes place. It is not possible for a player to travel during a dribble.

I think that this takes into consideration your concerns about this listing on my handout. I appreciate your input.

Basketball Forum members: Please keep your comments coming. I need your help to make this list a success.
You are correct...I did miss the most recent change.
