I had to read this several times to make sure I understood what you say. I do...understand, and completely agree with it. Every time you don't score it is a possible 4 to 6 point swing for the other team. Why give them a gift? Score...and don't let them score. What's not to understand?
This also brings up a sore point for me. I don't believe in playing a slow down game (on offense) when you are ahead. Keep playing what put you ahead. Don't mess with a finely tuned offense. Where you take time off the clock is on defense. I am, or was, a defense oriented player. I always believed that when you get ahead--stomp the hell out of the other team! That will put a little trepidation in the other team...and the battle is almost won before it starts. I know...black and white with many variations but I hope you get the point.
Good post, by the way.
