It's just like baseball. You develop good timing on all pitches and plays, even though you don't need it on 90% of them.

There are three parts to a play.

1. The beginning
2. The development
3. The finish

The baseball analogy was great because that is what I try to do in basketball. You call the play too quick and you might be wrong. And yes I do this on all plays where I call a foul (or try that is).
