Agree it's situational (need some context), and if needed the first step should be, again, if needed, "leave the ball alone".
How about tapping the ball to prevent the ball from hitting one on the head? Or tapping the ball with one's foot as one trips over the ball? How about wrong place, wrong time, and one carelessly catches the ball? Can one legally do anything except place the ball on the floor? Like tap it to an opponent, or to an official, or just tap it barely out of bounds directly under the basket? All of these only done one time? Or maybe twice in the entire game?
Not every touch by a player on the team that scored is a delay of game. It's never automatic. Every situation should be handled differently.
