But to just make a rule for the last seconds when it would be a similar problem in the middle of the game seems to overreach.

Who said anything about the final seconds? I missed that.

If you are outlawing what happens in the final two minutes, you are worried about the final seconds too.

I just do not see this as a problem that many are doing or where it interferes with players in critical moments.

I will use the wording APG referenced in the rule.
