What is a common method to reset possession after a turnover?

• A. The defense immediately takes possession and starts with a new stall count.
• B. The offense keeps the disc and continues from the spot.
• C. The disc is declared out of bounds.
• D. The offense resets with a dump or reset throw to reestablish options.

Answer: (D)

After a turnover, possession changes to the defense, and the offense needs to reestablish its setup. The common method is for a handler to throw a short dump or reset pass to a nearby teammate, which reestablishes the offense’s options and resets the stall count. This controlled reset gives the offense a clear starting point to regain organization, with the chance to reset the flow of plays and avoid immediate pressure from the defense. Why this approach fits best is that it intentionally reopens the offense’s decision-making space—the throw counts are reset, and the team can reconfigure cuts, handlers, and reset players before advancing. The other scenarios don’t reflect how possession is reinitiated: the defense doesn’t start with a new stall count in a way that benefits them from the moment of turnover, the offense doesn’t keep the disc, and while an out-of-bounds throw is a turnover, the typical, widely used reestablishment method is the reset pass to reestablish options.
