I think the thing you're missunderstanding here is that the entire antenna radiates. RF doesn't shoot straight out the end of the antenna like water coming out of a high pressure nozzle. If RF is returning back through the coax to the transmitter, it is because of some type of impedance mismatch at the feedpoint of the antenna. That's what typically causes high SWR.
