No ball handling. Players retrieve the ball, hold it, and then resume play upon direction from the administering official. The official can then stay as far away as they need/want to. That primarily serves the purpose of preventing the transmission from handling a whistle with saliva then touching the ball then touching the face area again but it also removes the situation where an official hands the ball to a player for a throwin.
