I do like the mechanics of the U going under the GP and wish TN would adopt this.

Our reason for taking the vacated side is because that will put us closer to the sideline to rule on a player going out of band than the LJ trying to get there. I'm not sure what we would gain by facing the holder because no matter what side you are on you will still be able to catch any roughing or running into. Of course we use NCAA rules so maybe Fed rules have something to do with needing to know if the holder has possession and knee coming up and going back down etc. For us, we don't have any reason to be able to see the ball, only if it gets blocked.
