I don't really see much of an advantage gained here by doing this either and I don't believe gaining extra time to throw the ball in is relevant.

-It doesn't help the new offensive team if the new defensive team is pressing. It just gives the defense a chance to better set up their defensive press.

-If the defense isn't pressing... then what does it matter if he tosses it to you. He won't actually need that full extra 2 seconds it takes for him to toss the ball to you and you toss it right back.

But if you fill it is that pertinent, give the OFFENSIVE TEAM a Delay of Game. Weird and unusual... but if you think it is dead set necessary... by all means.

I've re-read this several times and if it comes off condescending i apologize as that is not my intent. just trying to get my point firmly placed.

If it's a 1 point game with under 15 seconds I'm thinking they are pressing and every second is valuable.
O's coach won't care if his team get's a D.O.G. so long as it's his first of the game so long as he escapes with a 1 point win.
This is an interesting stitch because it certainly could come up. I think I'm tapping the ball back to the thrower and continuing the count. There's going to be an upset coach if he loses the ball on a 5 second violation but on the other hand there's going to be an upset coach if we let extra seconds tick off the clock.

He's going to be upset at his player for throwing the ball to the official on this play when they haven't thrown it to you all game.

And if he's not, he's probably going to be smart enough about it here that he'll try to control himself with a one point lead.

At least he should be but you know how it goes sometimes.
I'm glad to have a chance to consider how to handle this stitch before the season starts.
