This is a sophisticated take.  Hurley, I'm sure, saw this live, but, if not, he'll see it on the tape.  The pass got to Gaffney a bit too late, which forced him to hurry.  His decision to shoot it was not the problem.

As a coach, it's critical to look at decision making and execution, and not results.  The box score will show that Gaffney missed a 3.  That's the result.  The decision making to shoot was sound, iirc, because the shot clock was winding down.  The execution by Gaff was reasonable - he got the shot off and it had a chance.  The issue was that the hockey pass got stalled at the 2nd passer.  Not sure if Adams mishandled it or didn't read the next pass early enough, but that was the issue with that play.

I also agree with you that I would like to see Gaff shoot from straight away.

I'm not sure if the light is going to come on for him this year, but I think he's a very nice player, and, with some seasoning, I think he's going to be very, very good for us.
