When the ball is in transition from one area to another, it is important that the official in the originating area not give it up until the official in the destination area has picked it up. Often, there will be a brief overlap on the "handoff". I give my partners a moment to shift their focus to the ball before I give it up. Why? I've been bitten a couple of times by giving it up when it crossed the "line" only to have a train wreck occur an not have either of us know who was at fault.
