10 point goal versus 1 point goal

I think the 1 point goal is actually a better option than the 10 point goal this year. It might seem a little bit crazy, but hear me out.

The biggest reason is that if you miss the ten point goal, you lose a ton of time. I know this is really obvious, and everyone I've talked to knows this, but I feel like they don't truly appreciate the repercussions.

Also, the goal is actually one of the least important aspects of the scoring cycle. It's a difference of 9 points on a 30 to 40 point cycle, and it doesn't seem to be worth the time.

And yet teams seem to be 100% convinced that the only way to score points is through that 10 point goal. I've seen teams push their ball (already worth 30 assist points) against the one point goal so that they can pick it up to shoot. They usually miss.
