None come to mind...seems they just drop it where they're standing or toss it to the nearest official. Can't say how I'd react...if I thought he was intentionally trying to be a turd after asking for the ball, I might think about whacking him.

Truthfully, after all this debate...I may be inclined to think twice. Maybe my idea of sporting behavior is too narrow and idealistic. My philosophy has been once you've made it to the varsity level, act accordingly. Ball slamming is an emotional outburst...I just hate to see it.
