If the ball stops in the dribblers hand, it is a violation. What qualifies as a stop in this case? How long is too long? Difficult to define in words.

Kinda like feeding a goldfish: so much and no more

Kinda like pornography: can't tell you what it is, but I know it when I see it

People often say a travel is not a travel just because it looks funny. A carry sorta is a carry when it looks funny.

One point which I think is certain, and is often misunderstood, the hand does not have to be directly under the bottom of the ball in order for it to be a carry.

You mean "obscenity"? Got any examples for us to check out?

In 1964, US Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart famously opined in an obscenity case that it was exceeding difficult to define obscenity, “but I know it when I see it.”

Apparently you are better versed on this subject than I. I yield the floor.
