Eliminate a free shot. Brilliant.
It would be a strategy decision. If a foul is committed before the inbound, the team that is fouled may want to run time off the clock, and risk the inbound play again. It would also give the other team a chance for a steal on the inbound.
If a team is down by 3 with under 10 seconds and has the ball, a lot of coaches will try to foul before a 3 pointer is attempted. This would give the losing team another chance to tie the game.

Good point. It would completely change the end of game situation. Instead of a constant parade of guys going to the free throw line, the losing team would have the option instead of continuously trying to inbound the ball. Outside end of game situations, it definitely adds a layer of strategic consideration. Like going for two in the first half of a football game.
