As long as the ball is within playing distance then its not obstruction, its shielding. Which is perfectly legal.

Self-pass rule to be adopted from hockey. A player does not have to pass or shoot from a free kick. Instead (as long as the ball is dead and not rolling), if he chooses to he can just start running / dribbling with the ball. I see NO downsides to this, but plenty of upsides.
