Palming

Agree with bktballref - in fact, a dribble is most often a controlled push, not a bat or a hit. I would never teach my players to bat or hit the ball.

The new palming interpretations are all over the place.

Yes, push would be a better word than bat or hit, I guess what I look for is the throw. Which implies a catch first. Okay on the first bounce, but not okay after that.

New interpretations ARE all over the place. I see a very wide variety of calls in my partners, and in games I watch. Hawks Coach, as an astute observer of the youth basketball scene, from a variety of angles, what kind of wording or description could we use that would help narrow this down a little??
