In a world where you have the LEAD with the game on the line

I know your function here is to point out missed two for 1 opportunities, but that wasn't one. Nobody goes for a two for 1 there.

You get the best shot you can, then play defense with the LEAD on the last possession.


Capitalizing lead doesn't change the fact that you are foregoing the opportunity to get 2 possessions vs the opponents 1. You will have the lead either way. The only difference is that the opposition isn't afforded the option of taking the last possession if they want it.

Not really. You are not guaranteed to get possession back. You could give the other team enough time to have a full possession, miss, rebound, and have time to reset quickly for another shotm

You're looking for another chance to call the coach stupid, and you're just wrong here.

You're not trying to manufacture more offensive possessions with a lead, under 30 seconds.

Complain about the lack of 2 for 1s during the game, fine. Nobody goes for one there, though.
