Until you answer my question (which was first and to clarify what you are asking), not sure I can answer your question. Other than to say if the ball goes out of bounds on the end line, I put the ball on the end line. If it goes out on the side line, I put the ball on the side line.

Not necessarily.

What determines the spot? I guess a lot of things. Are you staying in the front court? Is this after a made basket? Where are the cheerleaders? Do I have room on the baseline? Are fans sitting in stands on the end line?

There are a lot of things that may factor, but this is the most I have ever thought about it. If the ball goes out on the end line, I put the ball on the end line. I do not try to be so precise that you can measure with a ruler.
