Well the rule does not allow the AC to stand. How the rule is enforced is really up to your local body that overseas this thing. In our area we are told they cannot stand. But we try to message them into following the rule rather than first instance give them a T. Usually they comply when instructed.

I do not call a delay unless it really delays. Simply touching the ball is not enough. Sometimes they touch the ball makes it easier for the opponent to take out the ball. Now when they grab the ball and throw it out of bounds where it goes completely away from a potential thrower, then I have an issue with this action. Some coaches want us to penalize the minute a player touches the ball. And I will consider if a team is running a press as opposed to simply defending the half court. I try to use some preventative officiating as much as possible, but that does not always work.
Basically these come back to the 3 legs of officiating I was taught years ago.
1. Rules Knowledge
2. Mechanics
3. Philosophy
I try to be consistent in my application as much as possible.
