Or A1 makes a strong move with B1 ALREADY behind him and the contact is deemed intentional and A1 makes both FT and now I have a 7 point lead with 58 seconds and the ball. 
Or better still, A1 is my stud, so he makes the shot and the FTs and I have a 9 point lead with 58 seconds and the ball.
As I said in the rest of my first post spacing and moving the ball is how you stall, by isolating one player and lumping the other four against a boundary, you just made the defense's job easier.
But, hell we are officials. If you believe Bobby Knight none of us know anything about coaching.

Well, there is one thing I do know about coaching, which is that there is always more than one possible way to handle a given situation, and the best way isn't always the same. Your strategy of driving and shooting will certainly be the best thing to do sometimes. Other times, keeping four players out in order to stall could be the best strategy. There's nothing inherently stupid about either one. What's best is going to depend on the various kids involved, and the way they handle their emotions, their skills and their teamwork. And how the opponents handle all those things. You can't just unilaterally declare that such-and-such is always stupid. Doing so is.... well, I won't stoop.

I guess the and thingies threw you, from now on I'll add a p.s. this is a joke.

Yea, I admit, I'm not very good with smilies. But in the past, I haven't understood them to negate anything anyone said. A joke is usually a play on words or a humorous misstatement or a gentle jab at a human failing of some sort. Which kind of joke were you trying to make with your smilies?

Go back to the first post again. Rookiedude calls it funky.
He made it as unlikely as he could to flip the closely guarded thread.
Is a play smart if it is hurt if your kid picks up their dribble? Is it smart if you line up your kids against a boundary, where a high pass is a turn over? Is it smart if the coach says don't score if they give you the lay-up?
Maybe we should ask Hawks Coach, about it?
Better yet, Rob Evans. I could go to Tucson to ask Lute.
