Take a step backward and/or away from inbounder to clear some space and get a better angle.
Begin count with arm nearest inbounder.
Chop when legally touched inbounds.
Begin a new count, if necessary, with chopping arm.


Personally, I almost never use a bounce. Maybe 1 or two times a game. I probably should use it more often.

Same here - but I probably hold the ball with two hands prior to handing it to the player so that they don't grab it from me. I believe all else is exactly how it was taught to me in a mechanics clinic.
