Rather than mechanics by consensus, wouldn't it be better to ask what the NFHS or the IAABO or your state expects?
Whereas I'd be interested in the last two codes, for states that have adopted NFHS Officials' Manual mechanics, here's what it says:
> "The throw-in to start to the second, third and fourth quarters shall be administered by the Referee at the division line opposite the table."
I have never seen anywhere this "one step" toward the backcourt or toward the frontcourt specified. And if you start them out there, if/when they keep their one foot on or over the 36" area and end up 2 steps or more away from the division line do you call a violation?
Just point so they straddle the division line. Easy. Nuff said. Right?
