I have two answers.
1) Mainly because officials tend to get lazy and leave the baseline because they can bounce the ball.
2) I understand that a specific clinician wanted to put his/her stamp in the mechanics. So because of this particular clinician or rules interpreter, they told us to do it this way. I have seen many games where officials might not do this "mechanic," but that is how we will be evaluated come playoff time.
