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.

I'm going by what I've actually heard other officials tell players/coaches, not inferring anything from what the players do on their own.

I'm not just talking about this situation but situations in general. There is a number of officials out there that perpetuate various myths.
