Just to add my name to the hat - I have also caught a pass directed at me out of a natural reaction as a player. I dropped the ball and also made a point to back away from it, raised my arms in the air to really accentuate the "have it boys!" and they hustled after it like a loose ball. If nobody reacts I might have said "live ball" or something along those lines to indicate play was expected to continue.
Of course, this was because I never considered myself a 3-point shooter and coach was yelling if players took bad shots.
