Is it wrong to place the tag after the tag?

It won’t validate outside of the <body> or <head> tags. It also won’t make much difference — unless you’re doing DOM manipulations that could break IE before the body element is fully loaded — to putting it just before the closing </body>.

<html>
  ....
  <body>
     ....
     <script type="text/javascript" src="theJs.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>
