Black allows the ball to land on the ground and instead of trying to make a play, they stand over it (kind of like a football player trying to down a punt). No action occurs other than a white player verbally suggests he pick the ball up and the black player says he won't because he is going to try to draw a foul on his 3/4 court shot when a white player comes to defend him.
Play is completely stopped. White is staying away, black is waiting for white to come over. Neither team has possession, though black is standing next to it.

Interesting situation. I guess I would just whistle a held ball and go with the arrow in order to get the game resumed. If white has the arrow, too bad for black. They could have picked up the ball.
