Even if that is the reason, it still doesn't make any sense.
Even in unmodified rules, a team can run out the clock without ever having throw the ball in if the opponents score with less then 5 seconds left (practially 5-8 seconds). That's just the nature of HS rules. There will be a time at the end that the defending team just can't do anything about.
