For those who want to give a real answer - is that a carry?

In citing everything above from the NCAA book, bearclause, you left the following out:
-- From the
Points of Emphasis at the front of this year's NCAA rulebook --
"The dribbler, who during a high or hesitation dribble, causes the ball to come to rest and then pushes or pulls the ball to either side or in front of him commits an in indefensible violation which MUST be called".
That's why the player got called for it. The NCAA rulesmakers want all of their officials to look for it and call it. That player is gonna continue to get called for it too until he stops doing it.
On the e-officials web site, there is an excellent video showing how the play should be called.
