As long as the designated spot is at the division line, as prescribed.

BTW, observational evidence is a tenuous basis for what mechanics to follow. Seven years ago around here, 98% ballwatched outside their PCA all the time, 95% called "On the Floor!" when act of shooting had already begun, 92% of Trails stood just inside the division line and bailed before the shot was released, 89% refused to call 5-seconds closely guarded cuz it was a "game stopper", and 86% . . ..
Now very few do those things.
Wrong is still wrong, even though the majority does it. Right is still right, even though only the minority does it.

Now, back to things that take place more than 3 times per game...
