IAAPT (I am a physics teacher) and, while it is possible for an object to be accelerating while at rest, that doesn't matter here. If the ball comes to rest in my hand (i.e., isn't moving) my intended acceleration of the ball has is of no consequence - dead ball, carrying call before the ball can get moving again.

IANAPT, maybe that's why I can't understand how the ball becomes dead whenever it 'comes to rest' in a player's hand before the ball has a chance to get moving again.
