I read that not as trying to control the retunr, but rather as we can get the ball back every time if we do this. If the short kick is not purely a way to try and get the ball back every time then I see no problem with it. If you jyst happen to have better athletes and can get the ball back at will with this play, then I think it sends the wrong message to do it.

Ok that's what I thought you were saying. To me, getting the ball back every time isn't a problem, as long as the score is close. If the score is decidedly in your favor then I think it's wrong. It's the equivalent, in basketball, of not pressing when up by 10 or 15.
