It's common for the non-jumpers to stay behind that circle, rather than approaching the actual 6' radius circle. I usually tell them they can stand at the actual circle.
Saw this happen in an NBA game this year...7 non jumpers line up behind an outside circle and Steve Nash lined up behind the required circle...and ended up beating his opponent to the ball after the tap.

Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
