If you rest the ball in your hand while running like this: palming.
So you can dribble and you havn't travelled, but you have still commited a violation.

Actually, it is effectively a travel and a carry/palming at the same time. Palming can be viewed as the end of a dribble.
At one time, just a few years ago, the call of "Palming" was removed and we were given the option of travel or illegal dribble. No action was made legal or illegal by this change, just the name of it changed. The violation was either a travel (if the feet moved while the ball was being palmed) or an illegal dribble (if the feet didn't move and the ball was again dribbled).
Because fans/coaches were so accustomed to seeing the palming/carry signal, it was quite confusing to have a "carry" signaled with a traveling signal or illegal dribble signal. The NFHS restored the carry signal to more clearly indicate the call.
