Explanation:

The idiom "the ball is in his court" is a common English idiom. In the context of the text, Mackenzie has submitted her suggestions to Reggie, and now it's Reggie's turn to act or make a decision. The idiom "the ball is in his court" means that the responsibility or opportunity to take action now lies with Reggie, just like in a game (like tennis) where the ball being in one's court means it's their turn to play. So the idiom suggests that Reggie needs to act next.
