Would you call this palming violation?

That's the key...He gained an advantage by being able to beat the defender.
Illegal.
How about the player who obviously "palms" the ball when no defender is present, and makes no move towards the basket? I've seen this called many times......IMO, this is not the intent of the rule...let it go.

I've called a palming violation in the last minute of a closely contested game. Happened right if front of the offender's coach. He said nothing of it and my partner did not ask about it after the game.

If it's obvious and created a distinct advantage it's no different than calling a travel, IMO.

That's what I thought too...when I made the call.

Is the implication that the rules change during the last thirty seconds of the game?

Does it matter if I am at T, C, or L ?

Yes, if created a distinct advantage. Just curious, was the previous palming on the same player or the opponent? Also, did you get a lot of crap for the call?

Don't recall the player in the first one. No crap though.

And this makes a difference, why?

My threshold goes up for calling this with no defender present, but I will and have called it. Just like three seconds, ten seconds, etc.

Snaqwells: I can't quite figure out whether to agree with you, or disagree with you, on your last statement.

Are you saying your "threshold goes up for calling" ten seconds in the backcourt "with no defender present"?

Likewise, if nothing else, to alert a dribbler that he's picked up a very bad habit.
