Which could you do more subtlety?

It isn't one of these that could "strategically" be used the best. Our local refs are talking about the throw-in by the offense on an AP, telling the inbounder to throwin at or near the defenders feet (most naturally if you are approaching a 5 count). Natural reaction would be to kick at it. Result of play (if defender kicks): keep your throw in and the AP.
