I suppose the question is how much time is lost and do the benefits outweigh the negatives?
You need to consider:
- The probability of making the shot
- Average total cycle time
- Average time to re-try a missed shot
In your case, 9 points equates to a 29% increase in points scored per cycle (31 vs 40)
If the odds of making the shot are high, or the re-try time on average is low compared to the average total cycle time, then it could well be worth not sacrificing a 29% point bonus. Someone want to generate an equation for this?
