Put some true thought into what WILL happen, even in the rare cases, else you'll dismiss any negative tradeoffs that are based on assumptions you don't know you're making.

The point of the post was to say that it's a good idea to feed your alliance members from your alley. I understand what WILL happen, but there are more variables going into that that you're not thinking of. I could, say shoot it over at the minimum required speed, so if it misses, it looses most of its velocity from hitting the backboard, falls on the fender, rolls down, and is on my alliance's scoring side. If you want to be more precise about it, you could shoot with enough power so the ball just gets over the bump in the center of the field.
