Would you call this palming violation?

Yes, assume from the description that his hand was touching the ball when his hand went under the ball.

Second, when the player puts his hand on the side of the ball, he's coming close to a violation. It's possible for the ball to come to rest in his hand (especially a player with large hands) even though it's not "under" the ball. Either is a palming violation.

In the description he should of said "he clearly palmed the ball by holding ball underneath" and then I would agree, not that "he rose up on toes....." . My point is that you can't penalize players that have developed good skills and moves that come "close" to violating rules. I see palming called alot just because a player hesitates , rises on toes , but does not lift ball.
