Would you call this palming violation?

[Raymond]

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?

Never said it did make a difference! If the same player had done it earlier, he should have known better, if it was a player on the other team, at least there is an appearance of fairness.
