When I'm U (or R in 3-man), I don't go with the closest official but rather the one toward whom the ball is facing when the player goes down. Usually, one of the two officials has the player between himself and the ball --- go with the other guy.

On my crew, H and L knew which guy that was and whoever had the wrong view would move to match his partner - all this before U even got the ball in most cases.
