Not talking about that particular game or specific situation. We are arbiters of the game not calling things just for that situation. If teams know this might get them a T in this part of the game (and they might not be that introspective) then they might not do it any other time. Not really that big of a deal and if you are so concerned about running out the clock, then do just that. I really do not see this a big deal either way. The case book says this is a T and that is what I would likely call based on my knowledge of this ruling. I think we worry too much about what might happen if we apply the rule that is clearly backed up than we need to.
