Why would we want a rushed shot which by definition a 2-1 opportunity is versus a solid shot?

Well, first of all, a solid shot is far from guaranteed on any possession.
The point, though, is that 2 shots are almost always better than 1. That's backed up by a ton of statistical data points.
And besides the fact of statistics, just think about it logically. Why wouldn't you choose one rushed possession and one solid, stable possession over just the one solid, stable possession?
The extra, rushed shot is a bonus, so why would you ever turn it down?
