Rolling the ball while the clock is stopped is a tactic used to be able to have the clock not start until the ball is the maximum distance up the court as possible. By rolling, the offensive team can control the balance between ball position when they pick it up and when the clock starts. This is not a "circus trick", but a legitimate play that has been used for a long time. You don't see it as much in high school as you might because the clock does not stop after made baskets.
