Sometimes after 1) and 2), the status of the ball quickly changes as a result of a pass, an interrupted dribble, a steal, an attempted goal, etc.
Freddy: Excellent question, one that I often thought about, but never bothered to ask. I personally lean toward B), however, I look forward to answers from other Forum members.
