Everyone’s a genius on the replay. Decisions look easy when you know how they turned out.

Hindsight hands you the answer and then lets you grade the person who had to guess. From the stands, with the outcome known, the pass looks obvious; in the moment there were four options, two seconds and no result to check against. Worth knowing in both directions, because you will do the same thing to yourself about choices made with information you did not have.

When you review a bad decision, judge it on what you knew at the time. Ask whether you would make the same call again with the same information. If so, it was unlucky rather than stupid.
