The other option is that he doesn't do anything to it 20% of the time, which may or may not be appropriate depending on how we define over-inflated. I'm guess the 80% happens when the ball doesn't conform to the required pregame inspection specifications, and the 20% of the time is when it is over-inflated by manufacturer's specifications but still passes pregame inspection requirements.

My question is why you would mess around with trying to make the ball conform to the standards (removing or adding air). Assuming I discover the situation during pregame, I would just ask for a different ball.

All / most of the other balls are being used by the teams during warmups. OR, the team has one ball that is the "game ball". Or, it's just easier / quicker / less disruptive to put the needle in and let the air out than it is to seek out a new ball.
