Can human players bring the ball to the player with the trident?

[GaryVoshol]

Not only can HP's bring the ball to the HP with the trident, any team member (even the coach) can handle the ball. But only a HP can use the trident to put the ball into the return. And during auto, only a HP can take the ball out of the corral.
