The dilemma

The ball swings to you and the lane opens up. He is set to plant hard on that loose lace any second, on an ankle taped thick under the sock. After today you will never see any of these people again. In your head the clock is already running.

Your options

1. Pull up and point at his lace before he plants on it.
2. Take the lane and finish. It is live, you play what is in front of you.
3. You hesitate, caught between the two, and he plants on the lace.
