Most common mistake by refs

I consider this an adjustment.

I stand directly at the spot any time possible. I may stand a step or two onto the court if necessary due to fans but I still am out from the spot the throw-in will be administered. And, for the most part, my partners do this. Every once in a while someone doesn't but in my experience that person also tends to not follow a lot of mechanics.

This one just makes sense to me - go where you're supposed to be.
