It is so often correct to make the 9pt instead of other points when the opponent is either split to your 3pt or has your 3pt made. Obviously it's a great blocking point/pressure point.

John mentioned what he thought the dmp play was so I've included that rollout below also. He was dead on that it is the dmp play but it's just not 'clear enough'. In general it's a great way to approach a problem though if you can identify the dmp play then make that play. Pretty simple and will keep you out of trouble almost all of the time.
