In the Rockets/Grizzlies game last night, at least 5 Palming calls were made. That must be a record for the NBA! I am guessing it is a point of emphasis for them this year.

It is a point of emphasis this year in the NBA. They are not only calling a "carry" when the hand on the ball goes past 90 degrees, but also calling the ball "coming to rest". There are ways that players can have the ball "come to rest" in their hand without necessarily going past a 90 degree angle - and it can give them a huge advantage.
We probably don't do a good enough job of calling this at the college or high school level either.
