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.)

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.

You're being purposefully obtuse, in my view. I'm not going to explain the subtlties of physics, or orders of operation. It's a suggestion as to how to deeper understand what the simple (minded) rules don't get at. [/B]

Gasp! You're not gonna explain the physics of how a ball that
must be at rest to be a called a palm (by rules definition) can also be accelerating or decelerating at the exact same time that it's completely still? Aw, c'mon...that would certainly be......entertaining.
In lieu of that, then maybe instead you can try finding a subtle rules citation somewhere that will back up your...uh... theories of relativity.
I'm also still waiting for an explanation on the violation you said you are going to call if the dribbler doesn't travel or dribble again after the palm occurred. Subtly explain the orders of operation on that one to me also, along with an accompanying relevant rules citation.
Show me the way to deeper understanding! Please!
