If the coach wants to know where the ball will be inbounded, it will always be where the ball is, 100% of the time.

If I have to, I set the ball on the floor at the inbounds spot. It's a good indication of where the inbounds spot is and I've never had anyone touch the ball. If I am at the spot, I hold the ball on the side of me where the spot will be. We will at least make eye contact and point to the spot. If we talk, we say WHO has the ball and WHERE. Good habits come in handy at crucial times.
