I guess it just doesn't bother me to put my hand down if something interrupts the restart.



This will vary depending on the extent of your peripheral vision, but when my arm is straight up, it's outside of my field of vision. I don't see it until the very end of chopping the clock and then just my hand. So I'm not blocking my vision either way.
I agree, it isn't that big of a deal, but I do think it looks better to raise the arm after handing the player the ball.

We must be physically different or I have some good peripheral vision. To get my arm out of my peripheral vision requires me to reach back uncomfortably.
