Palming, POE

In many of these instances, the ball is 'coming to rest' in the dribbler's hand. A violation MUST be called by the official, as there is no way to defend against this move."

I think it should be pointed out that the hesitation dribble is not illegal, but the ball coming to rest (palm up or down) along with a hesitation move is illegal, if I am understanding this correctly. If this is not right, please let me know.

I like the NCAA interp where they recommend that if the dribbler is not gaining an advangate, palming does not need to be called.

This new POE could cause some problems. Among the least, consistentcy problems with the officials and it gives losing coaches something else to complain about.

Is that like gaining a Watergate?

Um, no. If the NCAA rulesmakers issue something, they issue it to everybody. For instance, in last year's NCAA rule book, they issued a POE on Palming also. In that POE, it doesn't mention anything even remotely resembling what you stated.

What D1 camp was this said at?
