I found that when I go down lower that my view of the players is partially obscured or not as good for lane violations. In talking to them, their reasoning was that I needed to be farther down for rebounds and shots. My question is where do you position yourselfs and, do you use any particular spots or reference points? Thanks for your insights.

rc,
I am lined up a couple steps behind the free-throw line extended and about half-way between the shooter and the sideline. A good view of everything from there.
If i have to adjust a little I will.
Try it; you'll like it.
