Officials don't really need the palming, or carrying, rule. Deleting palming, or carrying, from the rulebook would have absolutely no effect on the game of basketball because the officials would call either traveling, or illegal (double) dribble, when such a violation occurred. In fact, you can probably throw away the phrase double dribble, because it's actually an illegal dribble violation.
