Designated spot

I am not saying I buy this reasoning, but I have seen at least one ref say that players do not always start on the center of the spot.

Coach,
I don't think you're too far off.

I have had a ball go out and spotted the ball near the corner, and have had the in-thrower stand 1/2-way between the corner and the lane ready to accept the ball.
I point again, and the player will move nearer to my spot.
Maybe the player will move to where I point, or not.
However, when I give the player the ball, I have decided that it's close enough and the player now is in the "agreed upon/determined" spot.

And, then, I start my count at "one".
