And yet, there’s probably even odds that the first Bama shot of the game will be Nelson jacking a 3 with Bacot standing 8 feet away from him clogging the lane.
If he hits it, he’ll shoot 8 more and make one which means he’s 2-9 and no one to rebound the misses (likely meaning we lose).
If he misses, we’ll start running our actual offense but be down a possession. This might be the best outcome, but I wish he just wouldn’t shoot it and instead try to set screens and get offensive rebounds (or even use some post moves on Bacot to try and get him foul trouble).

The best result would be if Nelson attempted 3 3-point shots and succeeded on all 3, but as you say, that would be a very low probability.
Ultimately, it is the coach’s choice and ability. As you say, coaches may choose the offense that has the most success.

If he hits it, Bacot can't stand 8 feet away clogging the lane anymore, and our offense opens up. That's what Oats wants.
Nelson was never a great shooter, and a lot of people have put unrealistic expectations on him. I think he can shoot a little better than he has, and that would help us. But he was never going to be a 40% guy.
