Fwiw, in another thread posted today there is an old ESPN interview linked with Ed T. Rush of the NBA's officiating staff. He was asked about "palming" in the NBA- specifically players being allowed to put their hand on the underside of the ball while dribbling. His reply was "The rule book states that a player's dribble is terminated when the ball comes to rest. The position of the hand does not always relate to the ball coming to rest".
