I have a very specific way I handle this process, but at the end of the day my process is just something I do for consistency. I would suggest finding something that works, sticking to it and paying attention to other more pressing matters.

That's interesting. If I saw you hand the player the ball without your arm raised I would wonder why you did that when you weren't ready to go.
