A3 defender, standing in his defensive half of the field, reaches over the line and 1) stops the ball and keeps it in A's offensive half without gaining possession. 2) picks up the ball and tosses it back to A2 without ever allowing the ball to cross the midfield line. What counts do these situations create?

2) When A3, standing in his defensive half, picks up the ball; warn the team to "Get-It-In" and start a 10-second count.
