I'll start by agreeing with everyone else, that sometimes you're better off giving up the basket. None of us want to see hard fouls, especially on purpose. That being said, I do understand, from the coaching perspective, that there are times when you'd rather put someone on the line rather than give up the layup. I know as officials we would like to take this aspect of coaching out of the game, but realistically its there and always will be. I would say get your girls to take a better angle on the play, anticipate the break-away (so they can get down the floor and into position) and make sure they are playing the ball.
