... you are not alone here. There is an entire officiating crew available to help. Your partner should have knowledge and the scorer will have a detailed account of whether it is the 1st or 2nd throw. Get it right.
Whenever I find myself concocting a brilliant plan on the court, I make it a point to bandy myself about the face and head for a few moments. Once the urge passes and I get down to using the resources I have available.
The clock is stopped. Take your time and get it right.
