Have you ever seen the NCAA Championship games between Georgetown and Villanova? You can also refer to the UNLV and Arkansas Championship teams and even Loyola Marymount (Hank Gathers era).

If you watched any of their games in those seasons, these teams wanted to increase the pace of the game to get their opponents out of their comfort zone where they would make mistakes and give up points as a result. Some of the players would get the ball after the make and pass it to the inbounder, this would start the inbounds count sooner and force the inbounder to make a decision quicker than normal.
