I tend to call palming more than other refs but the good thing about it is usually it can stop players from doing another. On the advantage thing, I have called palming when a defender isn't even nearby so no I don't always go by the advantage because yeah that is asking for trouble. There might be a few cases which I let go though and I've told players in breaks after to watch that or I i will call it.
Sometimes when working with refs who don't call it can be trouble. we switch the trail spots I will call it just a minute after the player was doing the exact same thing when the other ref was at the trail. Fortunately, many times I've had coaches tell players yeah that was palming but then of course they will get on you for not calling what they see as violations. - just about every crossover or hesitation dribbles.
