Now, with two free throws, the players just stand there on the first free throw thinking about taking their steady girl to the malt shop after the game.

No big deal.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Plus, during a timeout, one of us always stands with the ball where we will inbound, so if the coach asks, we just point.
In the rare situation where officials need to get together during a timeout for a tête-à-tête, we leave the ball at the throwin spot.
Yeah, I know that some frown at that, but we've never had a ball stolen.

Well in 27 years I have had many. Where a player wants to take it at a totally different spot than where the violation took place or the official does not give you the spot. Now that basically is over because the 4 spots are clear. And yes during timeouts coaches assume where the spot should be a lot (even in the BC). This only applies to the FC so some of that is alleviated.
Peace
