The theory had to do with it being the call people would expect, etc.

This application of common sense (as I see it) was taught to me a long time ago. It was also given to us at the pro camp I went to way back when I did that little ball thing.
It is good advice, and of all the times I used that idea I rarely had any arguement from the coaches.
