Likewise, they could throw the balls to the backcourt, allowing the backbot time to scoop them up and having a distinct advantage in the next period.

Another type of defensive stratedgy.

Why would they want to throw the ball back into play? To score points for their alliance.

(Think about it: I'm the red alliance. You just scored a ball in your corner goal, which is right in front of me. I want to do my darndest to either break even and score it in my corner goal, or come out ahead and nail a three. To do that, I have to reintroduce that ball into play.)
