How about palming is accelerating or decelerating the ball during a dribble with the palm rotated 90 degrees or more from the plane of the floor. (The ball coming to rest is actually a special case of this way of controlling the ball.)
[/B][/QUOTE]How about finding a rules citation-- anywhere--from any ruleset- that states that any of your proposed criteria are illegal? Or relevant?
The ball coming to rest in the hand is the
criteria used in the RULES to determine whether palming/carrying the ball has occurred. A ball accelerating or decelerating is MOVING; it ISN'T at rest!
And the angle that the palm is at has got nuthin' to do with nuthin' either.
And exactly what violation are you proposing that we call if the player doesn't travel or dribble again after the palm? 'Splain that one to me.
