I just think it would be highly technical to call it a violation and the player clearly had their hand on top.

One situation in which I have made this call is when the players makes contact with the ball early and maintains this contact for an extended period while the ball travels upward,
then continues this contact while making a significant directional change. All this can be done with the hand location
on/near the top of the ball.
