The down side? After the L takes about three steps towards the doorway to get the ball there are eight players in what would be his PCA - five gold, three black. Suppose the two #30s - who are closest to him but furthest from the C and T - get into something? He has no clue what happened plus the C and T have to get through other players to get to them.
The alternative is stand there and let one of them get it. As Adam said, the ball will make its way back. With dead-ball officiating emphasized at every camp I attended this summer - as well as keeping eyes on players while the ball is live let alone dead - turning our back to go get the ball isn't a good idea.
