If it is the later, it becomes significantly easier to completely shut down a scorer that needs to score from the key: sit in key for 4.5 seconds, inch outside of the key and then quickly return before the scoring robot can get behind you.
If you prevent a defender from leaving for their timer reset you are drawing a foul, and can be called on it. And you might be considered to be pinning them too.

Shooting from the airship was something I considered.
Shooting a wiffle ball over 12 ft with your back against a wall, or shoot from 2 feet with someone slamming into you. Tough choice.
