Who's calling 'palming' on this video

And what rule reference would these blind musicians use to justify calling that play a violation?

The part that is wrong is the last sentence. The word "only" makes it an incorrect statement. Palming requires neither "cupping" nor a "cross over."

I like the call made by the T in the 2nd video.

As for comparing them, I don't see them as being the same play. Not at all. So I'm happy that there are different calls.
