Years ago, I was watching the end of a game, waiting for my shift to start. I saw one of the officials jump out of the way of the ball in this situation. After the game, I asked him why he did it. He said it was just a reflex, the same as he does if the ball comes towards him on the court. He just couldn't help reacting that way.

Sounded logical to me.

I like this answer.

it isn't the way I react, probably because my reflexes won't allow me, but "it is what is is." Whether we (they) like it or not, we are part of the game. Sometimes our actions are genius and sometimes our actions are . . . something else. But this sitch is not a big deal on anyones chart and whatever works, works. Not to mention there aren't any rules prohibiting it.
