Pistol,
Why would that be? Why wouldn't it be same level = same strength?
My guess is they just give a little more time for the players to sort it out and call fouls before they call the "jump".

Think about most of the held balls that you whistle. They usually occur during sloppy play. A mad scramble for a loose ball or some such. Not many of those occur in the NBA. Watch a half dozen NBA games and you probably won't see more than 1 or 2 held balls in all 6 games combined.
