Coach, I'm assuming you're slightly kidding here. The obvious reason is for the team that's behind, late in a game, to save a few precious seconds by having the clock start when the ball's closer to half court. Do that a couple of possessions, and pretty soon that team has saved perhaps enough time to get at least one more possession out of the game.

Of course, when I see it done in the first half, I use just as many question marks as you did.
