there is no advantage gained by bouncing the ball when on the baseline. once you had the ball to the inbounder, just take 1 or 2 steps away, if needed.

the reason we bounce the ball along the sidelines is to be in better position to officiate the current play and prepare to officiate the transition action if there is a quick steal on the inbounds pass.
