Why dodge it?
I have tapped the ball back scores of times and thought nothing of it. It is almost always momentary confusion on the player's part or a lack of understanding of the rules by a younger player. Either way, it is a nothing moment and me dodging the ball makes it something and puts me in the spotlight. Somewhat the opposite of preventive officiating.
I just don't see any reason to dodge the ball. Tap it and play on.
