This one just makes sense to me - go where you're supposed to be.
I am at the "plane" of the spot, but hardly at the spot. As I said it is usually not practical for me because we have cheerleaders that like to go all over the court. And if you are at the spot, you will be in the way often. Even standing on the blocks is tough. I do not see this as a big deal or even something that is necessary. Most coaches hardly pay attention to where the spot the ball is coming in and when they ask you can tell them. I do not see the big deal in telling them.

Peace
