Now, one might ask how contact during this dead ball period that does not rise to the level of unsportsmanlike or disqualifying (or intentional or flagrant to use FED terms) can create an advantage, but if it does...

Easy...can cause thr throw-in team a delay in getting to the ball and either getting 5 second delay or allow the defense to set up a press. Obviously the former shouldnt be a factor but you never know if you get the rigbt official...
