Old Dog, Old Tricks ...

With rare exceptions, the only time that one will see me bounce the ball to an inbounding player is on a run-the-back-endline throwin.

If I believe that bouncing the ball to the inbounder will help me to better see an anticipated play, I will bounce it, but this will be few times, and far between.

I'm so used to doing it the old way that, as the lead, in a two person game, I will hesitate to bounce the ball to an inbounder on a sideline throwin below the free throw line extended.

I doubt that there is anyone on this Forum that bounces the ball less than me. I know that I'm in the minority, and I probably should be bouncing more, but it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks.
