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.

So, just so we're clear, are you saying the touch after the bat simply ends the dribble?
