Here in the UK, we work the same as TexasAggie described - always the LJ under the post with the BJ and the R covers the open side. If the kick is from outside the 20 we go with just one man behind the posts, our Association feel the BJ can easily move to cover either post from that range.

I was in Colorado last year visiting with Referee magazine's football columnist Gerry Grunska and we watched a 5 man high school crew in suburban Denver. The mechanic of sending either HL or LJ depending on which was facing the R's back was explained to me and I saw it in action. An interesting concept.

With an experienced crew I'm sure it is pretty foolproof. In the UK where we are often forced to put out less experienced crews due to the shortage of people, I suspect we will stick with our current mechanic....
