you basically implied above that it is considered more punitive at the high school level, because it is two shots and the ball at half court no matter what....I just presented a scenerio, that the final administrative portion of the rule "at half court" actually turned out not to be "punitive" to the offending team......that "portion" of the rule actually may have helped them win the game.....
That is fine, but your suggestion is kind of what the other levels do on some level. And if you want to really cause confusion, then do something that other levels have never thought of or have in their rules (that can be dangerous). And why would POI matter then but not in other situations? The flaw as I see it from your point of view, is the fact that if a team does what you suggest, then if the right scenario does not take place, you would have to have an exception to the rule to allow the team the best chance in the closing seconds. Because if this takes place with 10 seconds, I do not even see a problem. It sounds to me like you are looking for a solution looking for a problem.

Peace
