|concern = Carrying is colloquial but I have not come across a rule book or ruleset that lists carry(ing) as a violation. |

From what I've come across, the rulesets define the carry as the hand dropping below the basketball, but it only serves to stop a live dribble. If a player dribbles again after stopping his dribble, whether or not a carry is used to stop the dribble, a double dribble violation is called. If a player lifts his pivot foot after stopping his dribble and places it back down without shooting or passing the ball, whether or not a carry is used to stop the dribble, a traveling violation is called. |

Suffice it to say there is no carry violation in the rule book. |

Carrying is a violation in the game of basketball. It occurs when the dribbling player is holding the basketball without dribbling it.[1] Carrying is like a double dribble, because the player momentarily stops dribbling, then resumes dribbling. If the player is in motion while carrying the ball, then it is similar to traveling (3+ steps).
A type of carrying, known colloquially as palming, involves holding the ball in one hand in a grip without allowing it to fall naturally.
Most basketball players slide their hand to one side of the ball when dribbling to better control the ball, directing it from left to right and vice versa. So long as the ball does not come to rest, not only is this legal, but it also allows more control and easier ball-handling. The problem arises when the ball-handler slides their hand too far down the side of the ball and has their hand below it. A carrying violation is called once the player's hand is below the ball's plane of 90° and the required up and down motion of the ball significantly stops.
