I used to think that was "common sense", too. Then one night the coach told me he wanted the TO on the make. I nodded. The FT went in. I looked at him. He looked at me. I looked at him really hard. He looked at me.
The ball was inbounded, he gave me a "Where is my TO?" look, and I gave him a "You didn't ask" shrug.
Now, when the coach asks for a TO on the make, I say, "I'll stay right here. Just remind me."
