Yep.

I don't see why this is hard to understand.

That is not what I said exactly. I said that if a player was contacted and still able to pass the ball, that is what they were trying to do all along. Of course it is possible they changed their mind, but not likely. Or they were not smart enough to sell what they were trying to do.

And maybe you do not see players try this, but I see guards or ball handlers attack the basket in an effort to pass the ball for an open 3 or mid-range shot. So being around the basket means little in judging a shot.

And as APG says, you are stuck in your position anyway, so why are we really talking about this? You certainly are not changing what I have done for 17 years.
