Probably before your time. It was a rule change back in the 2001-02 season.
Comments on the 2001-02 rules revisions
"X" locates scorer (1-17): Rather than a recommendation, the rule now requires an "X" on the floor in front of the scorer. For 2001-02, when an "X" might not be possible to be painted, tape may be used. Home or game management is to ensure the "X" exists prior to competition.
