What were you doing before? You were not standing where the ball was going to be put out? I know I stood where the ball was going to be put out. I do not need to put the ball right in front of the bench (where it might not be seen) to communicate where the ball is going to be put back into play. And considering that you will have cheerleaders flipping around and players running onto the floor, I do not feel comfortable putting the ball in a place where someone has the chance to trip over the ball during or after a timeout.

Peace
