Where did you find that?
I'm looking at 2002/2003 NFHS Umpire Manual page 56 "Between Inning Mechanics." It says "Take a position on the foul line that is on the side of the field that is going on defense."
Personally, I like to use the same line of reasoning that you use to exit the field at the end of the game - on the side that is likely to provide the least resistance. If I have had any issue with a team during the inning I prefer to go to the opposite side between innings. To me it seem confrontational if you stand anywhere near the coach you just had problems with.
