Completely agree with this, it's a pointless exercise that is only done for basketball purists and those "magical" NCAA tournament shots from overhead. And while I have never seen an actual injury, I've heard plenty of stories about officials getting whacked during the process, or players coming down on an opponent's foot, and everything in between. Give the visiting team the ball to start the game and let's go from there, it would simplify a number of things.
