In our area of the state, clever coaches will often keep the gap below 40 so as to get the full 32 minutes of playing time for his/her team. This seems especially common for sub-level teams where the coach may have an over abundance of bench that he'd like to see receive some playing time. The 18th player doesn't get to experience much if there's a running clock, or so the philosophy seems to go.
