That's a play we ran all the time in those last second situations and it's what I expected to happen if the receiving player wasn't fouled. Either way with that much time on the clock it was a win if the ball was in without a turnover. It's just playing the odds.60%. Not great but he's been much improved from last year.
It's not uncommon for a team's best shooter to inbound the ball, especially when the other team isn't guarding the inbounder, because it's an easy pass right back to the guy who inbounded the ball. Not sure if that was Archie's original plan and it simply wasn't executed but it's not uncommon at all.
