I dont see that as lazy but as gathering more information. I will look at the shooter to try to determine if it was a readjustment.

Because it is not lazy. There are a lot of factors that come into play. Did A1 now have a clear path to basket? Is there 6' 9" shot blocker in front of A1? A1 has made this 4 times in the game and each time kicked it out to a jump shooter. A1 has passed for an alley-oop the last 2 times he drove down the lane. A1 is the leading scorer in the league and never passes. Team A is up by 4 with 30 seconds left and has no intention of shooting. Team A is down by 2 with 10 seconds left.
It not just as basic as "oh, A1 got hit and his movement could have preceded a shot". There needs to be some sort of intelligence involved in the decision making process.
