I would think with things the way they are today, in this situation many coaches tell their kid to heave up a prayer and hope to get fouled in the process. The shot doesn't have a chance to go in, but if you can get three free throws to make two points, your chances go up. So it would be trading one coaching strategy for the logical opposite. Pick your poison.
