You are down 1 pt, have a timeout in your pocket and you try to throw the ball all the way across the court. Why not just try to draw a play up to get the ball to half court and call the quick timeout so you can in bound at halfcourt and get a final shot? fricking dumb

Eta: I see teams frick this up all the time in college basketball. Its one thing I like about the NBA is the advancement of the basketball past halfcourt at the ends of games after timeouts.

I've never understood the NBA rule of advancing it following a timeout late in the game.

Because it's a tough pass either way, and if you try to get another timeout, you're relying on generally incompetent college basketball officials to grant you a timeout in a timely manner

I would prefer they just inbound the ball 1/4 up the floor, couple of dribbles for however long you have left, and throw it up.
