I 've seen it done both ways, 1 wing or 2. I prefer the 2 wings. Here is why:
With 1 wing the R has to stay wide enough to cover the sideline, and the U deep enough to cover plays to the empty side. The big gaping hole is in the middle of the field. Or the U stays in his usual spot and then the big gaping hole is everything beyond the LOS on the empty side (A much bigger hole)
With 2 wings the Sidelines are covered so R can get tight and can stay on passing arm side. Cons R has to spot the ball and get the holds. And usually mark off his own penalties.
Coaches feel better when they have an official on their sideline, and feel horrible when the other team gets an official on their sideline the entire game.
I work a lot of R and I don't mind spotting the ball and hustling to the pile, it sure beats the snot out of trying to spot a guy out of bounds on an empty sideline from 60 yards away.
