Probability - Question

A basketball team is down by 2 points with only a few seconds remaining in the game. Given that:

•Chance of making a 2-point shot to tie the game = 50%
•Chance of winning in overtime = 50%
•Chance of making a 3-point shot to win the game = 30%

What should the coach do: go for 2-point or 3-point shot?
What are the assumptions, if any?
