There are no absolutes imo. If you're the L on a quick break and your partner(s) are hung up in the backcourt, you'd damnwell better be ready imo to call the quick flicks'n'touches...especially the way that the kids are playing above the rim nowadays.
Half-court offenses..no. Let the outside guy get it.
Don't take anything for granted out there. Guaranteed it'll come back and bite your azz if you do so.
