Held ball.

I would then indicate direction and our throw-in spot, something that this crew seemed to NEVER do!

On the first, after a made basket, new trail brings his hands together at the sternum, and once ball is at the disposal of the player for throw-in begins his 5 second count (away from table) and leaves the other hand at the sternum, then once the team has team control, uses other hand for the 10-second count and brings the off hand to the sternum.

I liked the initiation of the process, and the keeping of the 'off hand' at or near the sternum while the other hand works. I'm tall with long arms, so this approach to 5 second to 10 second mechanic seems 'neater' than I've used. Stolen.
