Survey of the Palming Rule -- A Point of Emphasis

[Brian Watson]

I know this is going to throw gas on a fire but...

I didn't read anything about advantage?disadvantage in the rule book when it relates to palming. If a player double dribbles 10 feet from everyone we are going to call it (if we see it). I feel the same way with palming. I have always called it, and I have taken some serious grief over the last year or two because of it. I jumped up and down when I saw it as a POE. It is hard to determine and call sometimes, but we shouldn't call it only when they are beating a defender.

The one thing I am not looking forward to (I have not worked any games yet this year)is coaches harping on anything that even resembles plaming because it is a POE this year.
