I could see it happening where a team at the end of the game who was winning thought the count wouldn't start until they picked up the ball therefore they let it roll to waste some time. But they would probably pick it up before the 10 seconds had passed and get the violation called after dribbling around for 3 seconds.

Whether I would call this or not would be dictated by what effect it would have on the possibility of the game going into overtime. I think that's a good criteria to use for how to make any call late in a close game.

They would have to, since the other team wouldn't take 10 seconds to get to it if they're losing a close one late.
