I WH and I go on feel. By this I mean if you have a team that is passing team or shotgun then you need to adjust accordingly. Always postion yourself on the throwing arm side of the qb. This allows you better to see the ball and his throwing action or nonthrowing action on fumble/incomplete calls.
I like to keep my distance say 8-10 yards away from the qb to see the entirety on the play and also not to get caught up in a wild scramble.
At the start of the play i line up probably 10-12 yards deep and on obvious passing downs 15 yards deep. Like to be able to see the ball as the center snaps to help out on movement by the backs.
I know every state is different and each official has their own system no matter their position.
I feel that it is better to keep your distance a little so you have a wider angle of things that are happening. If you get to close it really narrows your field of vision.
