Thank you, everyone, for chiming in on my question.
By "working wider" do you mean greater distance from the ball handler/defender? If so, how far do you suggest? I try to stay within about 6 feet usually. Is this too close?
Also, in cracker box gyms, where you only have 2-3 feet OOB on the endline, what is the best way to get the right position as lead?

Get wider - closer to the side line. We are taught to NOT close down on a play in the paint.
