Yeah if you have a ball to throw and you happen to miss, But I don't try to hold on or save a ball for the last 30 seconds just to try to hit a full court shot, as you said most of the robots are heading for the bridges by that point anyway so I don't really find myself getting anymore balls to throw over. I normally leave the "throwing over" up for negotiation with other teams as I would rather have a steady supply of balls going through the slot during the game. If a team is happening to score that late in the game I normally will give it to another Inbounder on the alliance and let them throw it over.
