POE 4B-PALMING: "A definite advantage to the offensive player is gained on the hesitation 'move' to beat a defender(towards the basket or just to go by them). In many of these instances, the ball is 'coming to rest' in the dribbler's hand. A violation MUST be called by the official, as there is no way to defend against this move."

It might not be a bad idea to actually read a POE before commenting on it.
That's a pretty general and patronizing statement. To the authors, I offer. "Duh !!!"
