Roling over and ending in a more compromised position then your opponent after a throw is not ippon worthy.

Why though? If you see it from a "real world application" standpoint, even if the other guy ends up on top of you, you just hit him with the pavement. That's the traditional reason ippon meant end of contest. And for sports reason: if this happens after ippon, it's most likely because Tori let it happen knowing it was ippon. And if there was such a rule, I'd just position my lapel hand in a way Tori will always end up in a choke after throwing me for ippon.

A lot of times throws with roll trough risk not generating enough force (drop seoi nage for example). However if you aim to land on top not only will there be more impact but you will be in a safer position.

Ofcourse there are also throws with roll trough that will generate the neccisary force but its not a risk i concider worth taking.
