I had a veteran partner signal a double dribble on a player driving to the hoop, inside the key. It looked terrible and he knew it. We talked about it at half time and my partner stated that the player palmed or "carried" the ball and that's the only signal he could come up with. I told him it was a proper mechanic to us the "over and back" signal or "palming" signal (one in the same) to show the palming violation.
I think the double dribble mechanic is outdated and not one that I will use.

The "carry" mechanic was in the book for a number of years, then removed a couple of years ago (for one year, iirc). It was added back in last(?) year.
