I think we're on the same side here.

I tried to point out the reason why advantage, as it's known in soccer, is NOT used in basketball (mostly continuation), and the the example in the OP was pushing for an advantage mentality. I'm not advocating one way or the other; I'm merely explaining the divide, as I see it.
