Palming
Definition of palming ....?

Don't mean to be a smart azz, but don't you have a rule book? Are you not an official?
I'm pretty sure it's called a carrying violation in the book, and it is worded something like "The ball can not come to rest in the player's hand". I don't have my rule book at hand right now. |
Actually, the rulebook uses both the term "carry" and "palming" in the rulebook under 4-15-4b.
"The dribble ends when the dribbler palms/carries the ball by allowing it to come to rest in one or both hands." Peace |
Who Ya Gonna Call ??? Mythbusters ...
Palming or carrying is when a player gains an advantage when the ball comes to rest in the player's hand, and the player either travels with the ball, or dribbles a second time. There is no restriction as to how high a player may bounce the ball, provided the ball does not come to rest in a player’s hand. Steps taken during a dribble are not traveling, including several that are sometimes taken when a high dribble takes place. It is not possible for a player to travel during a dribble.

Question Then as to How High
I have seen a few calls made when the ball goes over the dribblers head during his dribble and retains it again when the ball returns and is whistled for a carry. No advantage gained, ball did not come to rest therefore no violation. So, there is no limit to how high the ball can be dribbled. I have been screamed at byfans and coaches for not calling a violation.

Well, ok, now that I'm here... ;) Johnny has shown to be an official in the past, so zm's question is a fair one. Now, if this was a new poster, or someone who said they were a parent or spectator, or even a coach ( :eek: ), then I can see the question being a little on the smart-a$$ side. But I think it's a fair question to ask if someone who is supposedly an official asks a fundamental question. Ok, I'm done being a smart-a$$. (Until the next time...) |
