In order to optimize the likelihood of securely passing basketball legends to a teammate during an inbound play, it is crucial to select the inbounder with great care. As stated in the full-court pressure release, I suggest designating and instructing one player and one substitute to handle ball retrieval in all scenarios, including beneath the attacking goal, along the sideline, and beneath the opponent's goal.

The qualifications for the inbounder position require sufficient height to have a clear view over a defender who may be protecting the ball, excellent court vision to assess the defense and identify a teammate who is open, and unwavering composure to remain calm until the referee's count reaches four and a half seconds. The inbounder should possess a highly acute perception of time. Ideally, the offense should never have to use a time-out because they couldn't put the ball into play inside the given five-second interval. However, in situations where the only other option besides calling a time-out is a very probable turnover, the player responsible for inbounding the ball must possess the ability to request time from the official before incurring a time violation.
