A Carry, in basketball, is an illegal move that happens when a player momentarily pauses their dribble by letting the ball rest or sit in their hand.
The player's hand may slide underneath the ball or their palm may face upwards briefly. This causes the dribbling motion to stop and gives the player extra control of the ball.
Carrying results in a Turnover, meaning the opposing team gets possession of the ball.
To avoid a carry, players must keep their dribble continuous, without hesitating or letting the ball come to a stop in their hand.
Their hand should stay on top of the ball, with their palm facing down towards the court.
