I would not stay with the dribbler for more than a second or so, unless I had a 5-second count going and was close to 5. When the ball enters my partner's primary, I expect him to pick up the ball immediately. If there's a competetive matchup on that block, I expect the Lead to rotate aggressively (with apologies to Dan_ref and mick) so that we don't leave the C with the ball and a post matchup.

But I am not going to be spending much time officiating the ball in my partner's primary unless I have a count. That's his job.
