I'm thinking that in situations this could help minimize fouling and all but eliminate fouls to stop the clock. Further, from what I've seen, free throw shooting is somewhere between poor and horrendous for many teams I work and I know some coaches that would gladly accept the ball for a throw in rather than chance a free throw late in the game. It would also force them to teach ball stealing techniques since constant fouling isn't going to get them anywhere.

If a team is not going to shoot the free throws and their opponents know it, why would they not be just as likely to foul?
Coach: "Go for the steal. Be aggressive! If you foul, so what? They take the ball out and we try again."
