That "dribble" is common for 8th grade and younger players that are dribbling "slow" on their way up the court. To compensate for their small hands over the years they have adapted to rolling the ball with their hands as they dribble, especially in making moves around opponents. but as you noticed, when they speed up, no problem. I simply follow Rocky's views here. There is nothing to gain on this call, all alone, and she can not physically change the way she has been trained to play in one game. it is a learned problem that will have to be broken. If she was attempting to avoid a defender; then perhaps it is the right call.
