Quote from: Duine Inteacht Eile on Today at 11:51:28 AMThe logic is that you don't get 2 attempts at a shot for a foul. You get 1.
That can be a free or let the play continue if the opportunity is deemed by the ref to be better than the original free.
A free is not a guaranteed score. If you don't take advantage of it then tough. The same should apply to shots that are deemed to be "better than the free".
There is an advantage if he misses in the 5 seconds. He just didn't take it.
And that's your opinion and grand. But that's not how it's done or intended.
A free is not guaranteed but it's a better advantage than a missed shot.
