Yup. Look at 4-15-4(b)--palming. Is palming a violation? No! It's what you do
after you palm the ball that determines whether or not the dribbler violates. The "palm" only
ends the dribble. If you dribble again after palming the ball, you have an illegal second dribble. If you move your pivot foot illegally
while palming the ball, you're traveling. If you "palm" and then immediately pass or shoot, it's a legal play.
The play being discussed is really no different than ending a dribble by
palming the ball. What the player does after ending their dribble determines the call or no-call.
