That makes perfect sense. The 29% bonus points that you mentioned is a variable as well. I guess one could make a spreadsheet with data like number of points on a ball, shooting percentage, estimated recovery time etc. and it could become a guideline for the optimal action for each situation. Looks like I have some homework to do
