Welcome back to the hardwood!

It is always more important to cover the play at hand than the play that might or might not occur. If that means getting beat every once in a while, then fine. It is a lot better to have a good look at 100 situations at the possible expense of missing 1 instead of compromising on 100 just to have a chance at the 1.
