Ding! Ding! Ding! No more callers, please. We have a winner.

Go where you need to go to see the play. There's no set answer for the original question. We have basic starting positions, but you always have to adjust to "see through the play". See both players and the space between them.

So if you have to take a step toward the division line to see between them, that's what you do. If you have to step toward the endline, then that's what you do. There's just no single answer.
