Honestly and respectfully I don't understand how this is even debatable.

I think I would rather have the T opposite in that situation - the long inbounds pass - because then the C and the L can handle any contact, and the T has nothing to do but head up court and handle the clock/last second shot. That makes more sense to me than the C having to worry about contact, a possible violation (travel, illegal dribble), AND the clock on the last second shot. So - respectfully also - I honestly don't see the advantage that you are seeing.

Que sera, sera...
