I've honestly never thought about the fact that I designate a spot for each throw in regardless of location on the court. Maybe I'm being lazy by not thinking where I should/shouldn't do so, but I'd rather just indicate it all the time (except when they can run the baseline) and not have to worry about when to do it.

I started officiating in CT and recall very clearly them telling us to report numbers using one hand only and have it off to the side (i.e., away from your face). This was in the early 90's. Now I've started up again in GA and we use two hands to report the number and have been told to put them in front of our face when reporting. Things, and locations, change.

In the best imitation of Marty Feldman I can manage - "Suit yourself, I'm easy".
