Here in Westchester Co. NY we try to teach the wing officials to START on the sidelines and move in when nescessary. We call it "be wide, stay wide". However, moving across the field is important when the play calls for it. Keep everyone in front of you. We don't want anything to be missed behind us, but it doesn't mean we stay anchored to the sidelines.

Obviously, the teams will also dictate this. If the run the ball consistently, you can cheat slightly in. But I found that the first play you cheat, they run the triple option reverse behind you. IMO I don't think that anything looks worse for a wing official backing up to cover a sweep. On the well marked fields I like to work in the "white".
