Put it this way: it can't hurt.

I've always found it interesting that the manual calls for the T to hand the ball to A1 if there's defensive pressure in the backcourt. I would think the powers that be would want the T to bounce it to make sure s/he starts with a wider view of the action. Plus, if A1 can run the end line and the T is standing next to him/her that could create a problem. Ah well.

I have to admit I don't follow that. When there's pressure I tend to step further away to get a better angle on the defenders.

I've never found that handing the ball put me in a better position to officiate.
