So, I suppose, "doing nothing" should be included in the listed options. If there's just a few seconds left in the period and there's no defensive pressure, and he's not in the lane or in the back court, that might be the best thing to do.

Seems strange to conclude that "doing nothing" might sometimes be the most productive thing to do.

I wish that were true for the federal government.
