If the there's a throw-in violation, I'm still going to see it clearly, and it's not like there's a plane violation to see. So, what's the downside?
It can become a habit and/or result in surprise pressure or token pressure that results in a steal/turnover and contested layup/dunk/OB back at that basket that you will have very little chance of ruling on accurately because you've been completely beaten on the play. And exactly what APG said.
