No, definitely not by me. But some of the old guys do it so that they don't fall too far behind the play if the offense brings it upcourt too quickly.
I never really thought all that much about that "mechanic" until I did the pro stuff. "Stays on endline during throw-in" is actually an item on the checklist for evaluation. For some reason it has stuck with me, and I do it religiously now. I won't step inbounds until the throw-in is completed.
