In Georgia, we've been taught to be 9 yards off from the widest receiver. If the play goes to the other side, we diagonal to the hash to keep the play boxed in. I've found if you're reading your tackles like you're supposed to, not watching the ball, you can see the reverse coming a mile away. Haven't had a problem of getting involved in the play--yet. If it does come our way while we're backing up, we also try to take a step or two towards the backfield to help get out of the way.

I think the worst thing you can do to a new referee is chain him to the sideline. There are too many things he's missing out on.
