Positioning of R

I have been a white hat for several years now. My old crew dissolved and I hooked on with another crew. They do things a little different and I wanted an opinion here.

I normally always stayed on the passing arm side of the QB, even if it wasn't the "wide side" of the field. The new crew wants me to always be on the wide side of the field. I don't feel comfortable moving all the time. It appears that the NF allows for either mechanic.

Thoughts???

Passing arm side. Period. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

You're the referee. You get to make those kinds of decisions.

Passing arm only. And don't let the rest of the crew tell you where to line up. That is your job.

I agree, passing arm side.

And, kicking foot side for Punts: FG and PAT always facing holder
