Team A could be 5-6 seconds into the 10 second count by then,right? And you haven't started a count- right? Quite an advantage for Team A,don't ya think?
Perhaps, but since it happens exactly 0% of the time, I'm not too concerned about it. Either B1 establishes control or the ball squirts OOB while they're "scuffling". Almost never does the scuffle last 5-6 -- without the defense establishing control -- with the result that A1 recovers the ball, and continues toward the frontcourt.
