I coach a 10u basketball team. My PG who received two violations for hesitation dribble. I asked the ref to explain to me what he was seeing. He told me there is a rule that if the ball pauses momentarily then it is up to the decression of the ref to make this call. I then asked was this rule in reference to a player possibly palming the ball. He said yes it was. Then I asked, was it in his decression that a 10 y/o was palming the ball. At no time was his hand never on top of the ball. Just would like to get some feedback from other refs on how they may have ruled that.
