To shoot or not to shoot ... when that is the question

They don't deserve residence in the category of colossal blunders but adding them up produces a definite adverse negative effect.

"They" are inopportune shots.

Witnessing the Nevada - Fresno State game Saturday night on television, "they" were simply happening too often.

It was as if there was a recurring disconnect between the hands of some of the players (holding the basketball) and the decision-making process in their respective brains.

Maybe some were thinking they were in one of those degree-of-difficulty sports where certain attempts are worth more than the usual score.

Yes, that's sniffing out snark territory but we're willing to bet coaches have both thought and said screamed this. 

PTW witnessed shooting without a single pass in an offensive sequence, bigs putting it up going away from the basket, guys outside their range disregarding the odds, a plethora of unsquared up attempts, you name it.

We ask a simple question.

Why?
