I'll argue it was more basic than that.
First, Duke had a timeout in its pocket. Can't believe Scheyer wouldn't let his guys know this in advance.
But perhaps, more importantly, is that there was 10 seconds left. You can't get a 5-second call in the backcourt. You can just hold onto the ball and make them foul you.
