Too much thought process in what you actually do IMO. What hand you give the ball to the thrower to me is up to you but if someone you work for makes a big deal then do what they suggest. Otherwise you should not make the ball available to them until you are ready.

If you are handing the ball then you step back a step or two based on the gym and watch the thrower and the defender closely if they are defending the throw. I would also start later on the count than early. And I will never give an audible count no matter if I am asked to do so or not. I do try to have the chop arm away from the thrower, but I admit I do not always do that mechanic.

Peace
