[With_Two_Flakes]

Suppose you stand one foot forward and the opposite wing does the same and you don't line up, then one coach will think your spot is great and the other will think it's lousy.

Suppose you go downfield after a pass that you think is complete and stand with one foot forward obviously marking a spot and then a fellow official waves it off incomplete.........

Better is to stand with your feet a ball width apart, neither foot forward. That's how regular folks stand anyway. That way if you decide you dont want to be showing a spot, youre not - youre just standing there.

Any half-decent Umpire will know which wing to look to for progress, he doesn't need you to be standing with one foot forward.
