Are these the officials doing this or the players themselves? I never tell players to go anywhere but not be on the line. They tend to go to the division line. So if you see them go there in my game, I did not have to tell them much of anything.
Think about it, is there really a reason to be right around the circle or 3 point line? I do not see one as there is no immediate rebound.
