Ed Rush On Carrying

Note to Jurassic Referee: Your most recent post (#6906, Ed Rush) was helpful, but please note, that thanks to your previous comments and rule citations, I have already changed #10 (Carrying) on my list so that there is no reference to the position of the hand. Your most recent post (#6906, Ed Rush) further clarified this for me.

10) (Most 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.

Thanks. Don't stop there. Please keep the comments coming.
