You do not have to agree, it is just my personal opinion. Just like some people do not see a need to use the “not closely guarded” signal, they do not have to use this mechanic either in my opinion.

I agree I would not put the ball down on the floor. However, if you have schedulers that want you to look professional and you go stand at the old spot while your partner is with the ball/spot or at center court, you will look silly and not be scheduled for HS games. The coaches go to the same rules/mechanics meetings so they know where you are supposed to stand as well. Imagine you are at the low block (incorrectly), and your partner is at the center line (correctly), and the coach believes the throw in from the sideline when it's really at the endline in a tie game. He just spent a minute devising a play for the sideline. Guess who will call your state association and NOT recommend you for advancement?
You stand at the throw in spot for a visual / time saver.
