I like the NBA rule, too, and in fact called it once last season. (NOBODY in the gym knew what I'd called, even my partners!)

But I think that the NCAA and Fed don't like to fundamentally change the rules of the game just b/c there's only two minutes left in the game. If it's not intentional or excessive, they don't want to penalize it any harsher than you would at any other time of the game. That's just my guess. They're trying to keep consistency. Although, the NCAA has adopted the rule for stopping the clock in last minute of the game. . . So maybe the "away from the play" foul is coming next? Uh, I don't think so.

Again, just my guess.
