I don't think the FT situation is analogous.

It's the closest thing we have to insight into the NFSH intent. The only other thing in the game where a specific player is required to do something is shooting free throws, so I'd follow that concept. Just my thought process: no one is obliged to follow it.
That said, you can go with 2-3 if you want. Honestly, since it's not covered by rule, I'd have a hard time telling anyone their wrong if they came to the other conclusion (allowing anyone to jump). Most of us won't have more than a handful of held balls on the opening tip anyway; the odds of one of those 5 situations involving an injury are infinitely small.
