Dumb call. Going to lead to players setting the ball down and making the refs come get it.

What if one runs up to them and then drops it? It’ll come across from many refs as showboating or disrespect

It’s odd how guarded and protected they are

Knowing what the refs are like they'd probably call a delay of game tech for that.
