Situation dependent.
Drop-in? Pass every time I see em open. TRIAL BY FIRE! I would rather they learn and get comfortable than not. That said, I tend to run my mouth playfully which is counter productive
League? Set them up to succeed. Tough spot? No pass. Chance to look good? Pass. 50/50? Depends on who it is and where we are.
I do have a caveat. There's a guy I play drop-in with named Craig. Craig is terrible. Craig thinks he's amazing. Legitimately and 100% thinks he's one of the best guys out there. Runs his mouth, tries to tell people who are far better what to do, rarely passes, can't pass when he does, can't shoot (referred to as a craig shot it's just a nice easy lob at the goalie's chest, likes to use it from all places on the floor including behind his own net), first to complain and first to try and hurt a guy AT DROP-IN ball hockey. I watched him go into a corner and intentionally stomp on a guy's brand new $150 christmas gift stick (shouldn't have been using it but still...) and not even apologize and then drive home in his fancy brand new BMW SUV. I don't pass to him. Ever. He could have a back-door tap in where I could lay on the floor and push the ball to him with my nose and I have nothing to shoot and I still take the shot.
