As for what we call it. I don't agree that it matters. It is NOT the same as "reaching in", "over the back", etc. Those miscommunicate what happens in a way that is detrimental...implying what could be an entirely legal act as being illegal. We could call such a stoppage a respite, a lull, a break, or any other synonym for all anyone would care and it would never make a difference.

It is even more irrelevant of an argument than worrying about whether a coach requests or calls timeout and on par with whether you call it an endline or a baseline.
