Maybe there is no problem specifically stated in the rules with the ball staying in the basket (no doubt something left over from the olden days) but this does create an advantage/disadvantage situation.

Just like the delay of game rule that states a player from team A cannot bat the ball after it goes through the hoop. If the ball is staying in the basket or slow to get through, team B is prevented from quickly bringing the ball back in play, allowing team B to setup a press or get back in transition.
